Name
Mini leek
Leek is rich in vitamins A and W, potassium, calcium, match and carotenoids and should be consumed as raw as possible to preserve its natural properties. This is because leeks are one of those foods that lose many of their nutritional properties when cooked.
For having a quantity of calories very low, leeks can be used in diets.
As it has a very pleasant flavor, it can be eaten with a variety of foods and can be used in salads and soups, as well as with meat and fish. It is only contraindicated for people who are following a low-potassium diet or who are taking anticoagulants.
