  • My leeks are hard in the middle

    just been out to pick the first of my leeks and when i was chopping them i noticed that they had a hard core - is this normal? and are they ok to use like this (making leek and potato soup for tea)?

    sorry so many q's today - will try and actually contribute something useful later on!!!!!

      If mine have bolted (gone to flower) I find the texture of the centre changes and you get a kind of solid core (looks a bit like a stick of lemongrass). If ithe core's not too hard, then I do chop it up with the rest of the leek, but if its gone too stick-like, I bung that bit on the compost.

          As said above, they've bolted but you can still eat the surrounding bits.

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
