Musselburgh - A very hardy and exceptionally fine strain . Hardy, heavy cropping and delicious. A traditional ingredient in soups and stews or as a boiled vegetable, but also try thinly sliced in stir-fries. High in potassium, folic acid and vitamin A and C. Musselburgh is a proven performer and still takes some beating as a winter leek. With their compact, bolt upright growth, leeks are the ideal crop to squeeze into bare patches on an allotment or in a border.
