A FIX FOR THE LEEK.

Braga Fresh Family Farms has added packaged Belgian-style leeks to its Josie's Organic line, featuring the brand's signature blue polka dot wrapping. Organic Belgian Style Leeks are long and slender, with a mild, sweet flavor similar to shallots. The packaged leeks contain more edible flesh than most bunched leeks, saving both consumer prep time and product waste. The leeks are grown in the U.S. and are available year-round.

"We are always thinking of ways to add more value and quality to our products," says Peter Cling, SVP of operations at Soledad, Calif.-based Braga Fresh. "When we took a closer look at the amount of shelf space that bunched leeks required, we wanted to come up with an alternative. Josie's Belgian Style Leeks are trimmed in an eye-appealing package and take up less shelf space at the store and in the consumers' refrigerator."

Organic Belgian Style Leeks join Braga Fresh's comprehensive product line of organic fresh vegetables, chopped salads, baby leaf blends and fresh-cut veggies. The new line is now available to major retailers and wholesale distributors throughout the U.S. and Canada.
