Leeks
Leek is a mild, onion-like vegetable used across European and Asian cuisines for soups, braises and sautés; both the white stalk and the green tops are commonly used for flavor and garnish. It provides a modest amount of dietary fiber at 1.9g per 100g while being low in energy and fat. Leeks also contribute useful micronutrients—notably vitamin K and vitamin A—and contain sulfur compounds (glucosinolates) that have been associated with antioxidant and detoxifying effects.
