Leeks belong to the Alliaceae plant family like garlic, onions and shallots. Keep in a cool place, away from light. They dry out on the shelf, place them in a cold place at the end of the day. The blue-green leaves are edible but they are tough and fibrous. To get a nice white tender part, you need to keep it out of sunlight. Baby leeks can be pencil thin and are more tender than medium-sized leeks.
