Family Amaryllidaceae

A hardy leafy vegetable, prized for its thick, tender stem and mild, slightly sweet flavor, a cross between onion and garlic. It grows easily in open ground and tolerates cold well, allowing for late harvests. Depending on the variety, it can be harvested in summer, fall, or even winter. Widely used in soups, quiches, stews, or simply grilled, leeks are a staple in the family vegetable garden.
