Leek

Leek seeds grow into a mild, sweet allium vegetable prized for flavoring soups, stews, and salads, offering a delicate onion taste without the pungency, with the edible part being the blanched stem and leaves, rich in antioxidants like flavanoids and nutrients like folate, potassium, and vitamins. They are easy to grow from seed, can be sown directly or started indoors for continuous harvesting through winter, and provide a rewarding garden vegetable that’s hardier and more flavorful than store-bought varieties.
