A Leek is a long green and white vegetable of the onion family. It is a solid cooking vegetable that adds a good amount of hunger to soups, stews, pies and pasta. Eaten raw it is a little unpleasant.

Leeks keep for about a week before they spoil. They can also be preserved in jars for long keeping. Leeks come from produce crates, grocery stands and Chinese restaurant fridges, and a farm can grow them from Leek Seeds. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.

Eating

A raw Leek lowers hunger by 12 and thirst by 5. It also raises unhappiness by 5, so it is not a pleasant snack on its own.

It holds 54 calories with a little protein and almost no fat. That makes it a light food that does little to hold body weight. Leeks are better hot, so a cooked leek eaten soon after cooking is the better choice.

Compared with Carrots, a leek fills more. Carrots lower hunger by 8 and add 8 to a soup, while a leek adds 12.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

A leek cooks in 10 minutes and burns after 30. An oven, a stove or a fire will do.

Leeks add 12 hunger each to Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. They add 6 to an Omelette or a Salad. In a soup or stew, the mood cost of eating a raw leek no longer matters. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe fills one jar with 4 leeks. It also needs an empty jar, a Jar Lid, vinegar, salt and water. A cooked jar keeps far longer than fresh leeks.

These dishes take the Leek as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming

Leeks grow from Leek Seeds. A plant takes about 50 days to grow, which is a long wait, and gives 2 to 4 leeks at harvest. The sowing season runs from March to September. Leeks planted in October, November, December or January do poorly.

Storage

A fresh Leek stays fresh for 5 days and is rotten by day 8. A fridge slows both counts. For long keeping, a jar of preserved leeks is the better choice.

Locations

Produce crates always hold leeks. Grocery stands at Gigamart, grocery stores and outdoor supply stores carry them about half the time. Chinese restaurant kitchen fridges hold them often. Produce storage rooms and sushi kitchen fridges turn them up now and then. Restaurant fridges and house fridges hold them rarely.

Notes

  • Cook leeks into soup or stew rather than eating them raw, which costs a little mood.
  • A leek adds 12 hunger to most hot dishes, more than a carrot.
  • Leeks take a long time to grow, so plant them early in the season.
  • Four leeks fill a jar of preserved food for long keeping.
