Leeks!

leeks4images


If you haven't tried leeks...they are a MUST try! They have a mild yet full body almost nutty taste to them. I eat them raw in my salads, saute w/olive oil, garlic, onion, panchetta and then put them over whole wheat pasta. I've also put them in soup. They are great because the taste isn't overwhelming so they can be added to all kinds of dishes. The best part is 1 cup has only 54 calories and contains fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, folate, vitamin A, K, C, B6, and flavonoids (powerful antioxidants) Super healthy!  So the next time you're in the produce section at the grocery store grab some!
