About Puerro
Puerro, commonly known as leek, is a versatile vegetable belonging to the Allium family, which includes onions and garlic. Native to the Mediterranean region, it has been a staple in European cuisine for centuries, adding a delicate, mild onion-like flavor to soups, stews, and sautés. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, puerro also provides essential minerals like iron and manganese, while offering antioxidant properties that may support immune function and cellular health. Its dietary fiber promotes healthy digestion, making it a smart choice for weight management. With a low calorie count, leek is a heart-healthy option that helps lower cholesterol levels and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, individuals sensitive to potassium should moderate their intake due to its considerable content. Puerro is a flavorful, nutritious addition to a balanced diet, celebrated for both its culinary versatility and health benefits.
