"Leeks: Like onions and garlics, leeks have a very long history. They grow in all sorts of climates and are known to have been eaten and enjoyed by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Leeks are very versatile, having their own, distinct, subtle flavour. They are less pungent than onions but are still therapeutically beneficial. Excellent in soups and casseroles, leeks can also be used as a pie filling or in flans, or simply steamed and served hot with a light, creamy sauce, or cooled slightly and dressed with a vinaigrette. They are also delicious sliced or shredded and then stirfried with a little garlic and ginger. Commercially grown leeks are usually about 25cm/10in long, but you may occasionally see baby leeks, which are very tender and best steamed.
Health Benefits: Leeks have the same active constituents as onions, but in smaller amounts. They also contain vitamins C and E, iron, folate and potassium."
EAT YOUR LEEKS!
