Description

Saveur douce et sucrée. Les poireaux ont une saveur délicate, semblable à celle de l'oignon doux et sucré, et sont très prisés en cuisine gastronomique. Les tiges tendres et blanches, qui peuvent mesurer jusqu'à 25 cm de long, sont utilisées pour parfumer les soupes et les ragoûts, et nécessitent plusieurs mois entre la semence et la récolte.

Commencez à l'intérieur 10 à 12 semaines avant le dernier gel prévu
