DID YOU KNOW?
Leeks, Allium ampleoprasum var. porrum, are related to the onion and to elephant garlic, though leeks are sweeter and more subtle in flavor. Some may refer to them as poor man’s asparagus. Leeks are popular in Wales and may be found in a soup made on St. David’s Day, March 1. Wash leeks well to remove dirt from between the leaves.
