September, October
Leeks are a member of the onion family so they’re related to garlic, chives, shallots, and onions. They look like giant versions of scallions with white bottoms and leafy green tops but only the white part is used for recipes as the dark green part is bitter. Leeks are in season from October through May. Due to how they’re grown, they can be sandy and there might be debris in the layers of leek which is why it’s important to wash them after
