About Leeks
Leeks are a mild, onion-like vegetable native to the Mediterranean and widely used in European cuisine, especially French and Welsh dishes. Known for their subtle sweetness and delicate texture, leeks belong to the allium family and are a versatile ingredient in soups, stews, and salads. Nutritionally, they are low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like iron and manganese. Leeks also contain antioxidants and compounds that may support heart health and a strong immune system. Their fiber content aids digestion, while their sulfur-containing compounds can help reduce inflammation. With no fat and minimal sodium, leeks are a healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, they can retain soil between their layers, so thorough cleaning before use is crucial. Whether cooked or raw, leeks bring flavor and nutrition to a variety of dishes.
