What it is

Dried leek is a dehydrated form of the leek plant, a member of the allium family, related to onions and garlic. Leeks are typically grown in temperate climates and are harvested, cleaned, sliced, and then dried to remove moisture, which extends their shelf life and concentrates their flavor.

Why it's used

Dried leek is used as a flavoring ingredient in a variety of savory foods. It adds a mild, onion-like taste and aroma without the moisture content of fresh leeks, making it ideal for dry mixes, seasonings, soups, broths, and marinades.

Health notes

Dried leek is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber and some vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated leeks and their components, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels.

Allergen info

Dried leek is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
