Leeks are amazing vegetables. They are part of the allium family, along with spring onion, onions, garlic and as such, support and protect blood vessels and the cardiovascular system, due to their antioxidant polyphenol properties.
They are beneficial for stress and diabetes, arthritis and obesity.
Leeks are a highly diverse vegetable and can be used in bakes, stir fry's, soups and casseroles, among other dishes. Eat them on their own, as part of a dish, raw or cooked and they will benefit you.
