leek
Vegetables
Leek contains not only essential oils which bring tears to our eyes but also many vitamins in the upper green part and minerals in the white part of the stalk. It provides plenty of Vitamin K, beta-carotene and antioxidants as well as special secondary plant substances, which can protect the heart and vessels. Likewise, regular consumption of leek can promote healthy intestines as it contains plenty of the soluble fibre inulin. This healthy winter vegetable should be stored in a cool place and cut and rinsed thoroughly before use, to remove the sandy and muddy parts.
