Umuthi Leek Sprouting Seeds

Umuthi Leek Sprouting Seeds are natural, untreated, non-GMO seeds that grow into tender, onion-like sprouts with a mild, sweet savoury flavour. They are useful for adding a subtle allium note to salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups, stews, omelettes, dips, sauces, spreads, breads, and savoury pastries. Leek sprouts take a little longer than many quick sprouting seeds, but their delicate flavour makes them worth the wait.

They are a good choice for home sprouters who enjoy fresh onion-style garnishes without the sharpness of stronger allium sprouts. Why we love it: Leek sprouts add quiet savoury depth rather than overpowering a dish. They are lovely for customers who want a softer onion-like flavour in fresh sprouts, garnishes, and savoury kitchen projects.
