Mother Earth Products Dried Leek Rings, Quart Jar, 3 Oz (Pack of 1)

I have several of their dried vegetables. When you're cooking for one it's difficult to keep fresh vegetables on hand. I find the quality to be great. I mainly use these in soups or rice. These are an excellent way to bump up nutrition in a lot of recipes. Handy for emergencies too.

This is my 2nd purchase. Really good to have around for soups.

These dried leeks are quite nice. They are a mixture of very small bits, and chopped and minced leeks. The taste is very pure, and these have a nice aroma. The leeks are very easy to use and can be added to rice before it is cooked in a rice cooker. I added extra water to the rice to assist in the maximum rehydration of the leeks. These are a nice price and simple to use. I recommend them for those times when one is lacking in fresh leeks.

Arrived intact and on time. Color is still decent, and I like the size/value. Once opened, I plan to mylar bag in smaller portions. My plan is to use this with mashed potatoes to make potato and leek soup as emergency meal. I like the shelf life. Having leeks in dried form gives me versatility in my pantry.

There's a lot of product in that jar! The dried leeks are a great addition to soups and sauces. They taste good and are a good value. I don't find the fresh leeks all that often at the supermarket at a reasonable price, so it's nice to have them on hand especially for potato soup. I always make sure though to soak the amount I want to use in a cup of hot water before using, and I can use the water in meal prep.

Once hydrated its like using fresh. Its what I hoped for as fresh leeks are very expensive these days.

i will buy more of these! nice to have on hand when i dont feel like dealing with fresh ones, flavor isnt as strong as fresh are of course, and i found it a little difficult to rehydrate them so i soaked them over night in whatever liquid i was cooking them or preparing them with like in brother over night for soup and dishes , and in mayo overnight for pasta dishes,overall worth having on hand

Container is see through, shape condusive to space saving tight packing. I mark the lids with the maximum use by date. If a bunch get close, I donate to a pantry or soup kitchen. My batteries go to a shelter in time for Christmas toys use. Many stores now carry dried seasonings in bulk sizes, but not at this size or price. Demand may be inflating the price. Home Depot or Lowe's have 5 Gallon Paint Buckets and lids, but you will need Oxugen Obsorbers and mylar liner bags; then you can store most everything that is dry - including sugar, coffee, dry milk, cocoa, tea bags, flour. Baking Soda, Baking Powder & yeast if unopened, still should be in a short term box with your small spices, salt & pepper sets. With little warning our country shut down. I did not have a problem. That was a reason I had my Emergency Preperation Supplies. That and growing up on a farm, nature can erase a road to town for food, warmth, electricity. Any time of year, day or night. When I started, I used a "One Dollar" cardboard box. Every trip shopping, I brought home a $1 item for my box. The Budget Box has caught on with my neighbors who are also on tight bugets. Start off a friend or loved one with their own box and toss in a couple cans of something. They will know you really care.
