Leeks for winter

Many housewives are wondering: how to store leeks so that maximum vitamins remain in it? After all, I want to eat fresh onions all winter. There are quite a few different methods by which leeks are stored. This is freezing, storage in the sand in the cellar, pickling. Each method has its pros and cons. Onions can be stored in the sand for about 5-6 months without losing their qualities. But, not everyone has a cellar, and also often during storage the onion begins to hurt and deteriorates if you do not disinfect the sand beforehand. In general, you need to tinker with this method. Pickling is not a bad option, but it's not that anymore. In pickled onions, the whole set of vitamins will not be preserved by 100%. So, the conclusion: it is best to keep the onion in the freezer.

First of all, the vegetable needs to be properly prepared for storage, which means harvesting in time. Although leeks are considered resistant to cold, it is still better to harvest before the first frost.

The collected leeks must be dried and the roots cut off. When cutting the roots, you need to be extremely careful not to damage the bottom. Green leaves, of course, should not be cut.

Strong bulbs are suitable for further storage. They should be smooth, without visible signs of damage. The selected leek is thoroughly washed to wash off the remaining earth and dust. Then we dry it.

And now chop the leeks. We cut it in half lengthwise. A larger leek can be cut into quarters. Then cut the sliced onion strips into small pieces. In fact, it is very convenient: it is already completely ready for use for frying or soups.

Fill the selected containers with onions. Onions of only one variety can be stored in one container. These can be cans, containers, vacuum bags. So we choose the container at our discretion.

Well, with such a vitamin set, no winter is terrible!
