Leek Nutrition Facts
Indonesia, Turkey, France, the Republic of Korea, and Belgium are the top producers of leeks, which are a member of the onion family and native to the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. Leeks resemble scallions (sometimes known as green onions), although they are much more significant. The vegetable’s mild flavor and ease of preparation make it a popular addition to soups, casseroles, white meat entrées, and a simple side dish when sautéed gently.
