Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Storage and shelf-life tests of leeks were made at Beltsville, Md., from September 1975 to January 1976, using about 200 bunches of cv. American Flag leeks grown in Vineland, N.J. Following a preliminary survey of leeks available in nearby stores, tests were conducted in three phases: initial consumer-unit holding tests, crate storage tests, and post-storage consumer-unit holding tests. The purpose of this study was to find improved methods for the handling, storing, and packaging of fresh leeks and to determine their storage and shelf life at various temperatures.
