What is Leek?

Leeks are in the onion family and grow in soil. Mature leeks have a thick round white stock at their bottom, which is comprised of many layers of thick leaves that become green a quarter of the way up the plant. Leeks are roughly 1 foot in length. Their flavor is onion-like, but gentler and sweeter. They must be cooked before eating to soften their tough texture.
