Description/Taste
The leek's thick, cylindrical, white, edible root gradually becomes a stalk with an attractive fan of dark green flat leaves. Not forming bulbs or producing cloves, leeks develop an edible six to ten inch long round stem that can measure two inches in diameter. Offering an distinct flavor, the texture is juicy. Leeks are considered to be the sweetest, most mild members of the onion family.
