Leeks

Leeks have a mild, onion-like taste. In its raw state, the vegetable is crunchy and firm. The edible portions of the leek are the white base of the leaves (above the roots and stem base), the light green parts, and to a lesser extent the dark green parts of the leaves.

Leeks are a rather versatile vegetable used in a variety of dishes. Used in stir-fry, braised, in soups, with pasta, in salads and roasted veg.
