Description

Leeks are rich in flavonoids. Flavonoids are antioxidants and may have anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anticancer properties.
Other health benefits of leeks include:
Strong Bones – Leeks are rich in Vitamin K which may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Some studies show a relationship between a higher intake of Vitamin K and denser bones, which lead to a reduced risk of hip fractures.
Healthy Eyes – Leeks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two substances that protect the eyes. These substances, known as carotenoids, reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

Weight Management – Because leeks are a low-calorie food, they can be part of a weight management program. The water and fiber in leeks can give you a feeling of fullness, so you are less likely to overeat. Leeks also add a lot of flavor to foods and make eating healthy dishes enjoyable.

 

Leeks have a sweet, oniony flavor that adds depth to soups, stews, pastas, and more! They add a lovely flavor to a wide range of soups like cauliflower leek soup or green chili clam chowder. They also make a nice addition to weeknight pasta dinners and healthy dinner salads. Try them on skillet mac ‘n cheese with chicken and broccoli. They’re even great on pizza! Once you know how to prepare them, try swapping them into any of your favorite onion applications—you never know, they might become your new favorite secret ingredient.
