Air-Dried Leek Flakes from Japan
Air-dried leek flakes are thin slices of leeks dried at low temperatures to preserve color and nutrients, used in gourmet dehydrated blends. They fit HTS 0712.90.85.30 as sliced or broken dried leeks, not further prepared for immediate use. This classification supports their role as a shelf-stable ingredient.
