Leeks (RAW)

Leeks are root Vegetables that look quite similar to onions, to which they are related. Their flavor is onion-like but much milder. The edible portions of the leek are the white base of the leaves, the light green parts, and to a lesser extent the dark green parts of the leaves. One of the most popular uses is for adding flavor to stock. The dark green portion is usually discarded because it has a tough texture, but they can be sauteed or added to stock.
