Leeks

Leeks are considered an Allium, and while they do look like a green onion, unlike their fellow allium members such as onions, shallots, garlic, etc. they don’t form underground bulbs. Flavour-wise leeks do impart a mellow, sweet onion-flavour but add a creamier texture to dishes; making leeks a very versatile vegetable that can be used in many recipes, including stir-fries, quiches, soups, pies and tarts.  

Because leeks are grown deep in the earth and have tightly packed layers, simply slice the leeks and soak them in a bowl of water to remove any surface soil or grit. Drain and then mop with a paper towel or tea towel.  

Good source of Vitamin A and folate, and a source of dietary fibre, thiamin, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C.
