Leeks
Leeks are members of the onion family, but they have a sweeter, more
subtle flavour than the onion.
They can be eaten raw or cooked but
the green tops are usually not eaten.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle credited the clear voice of the partridge
to a diet of leeks, while the Roman emperor Nero supposedly ate leeks
everyday to improve his singing voice.
Seasonal
Availability
Leeks are available
all year round.
