Because the flowers are small, the leek is usually sold with the stem. so, in order to get the delicious taste of the leek, it's a good idea to choose a fresh leek with a characteristic stem that is still bright green, not dark green. Also avoid choosing leek flowers whose stems are yellowish and tough when pressed.
Also try to choose flowers that are still in the form of buds and have not bloomed. Because if the flowers are already in bloom, the taste will be a little tough when cooked. You can also try pressing the stem. If it feels crispy, it means the leek is still fresh.
