Contact SupplierLeeks (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum) are a vegetable belonging to the Allium family, which also includes onions, garlic, and chives. Characterized by their long, cylindrical stalks and broad, flat, dark green leaves, leeks have a mild, sweet onion-like flavor. The white and light green parts are most commonly used in cooking, while the darker green leaves are often discarded or used for making stocks. Leeks are versatile and can be eaten raw in salads, sautéed, boiled, or used as a flavorful addition to soups, stews, and casseroles. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as dietary fiber, leeks are a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
