Chef’s note
With its high fibre intake and diuretic properties, leek is known to favour digestive system cleaning. It's a great source of vitamins and minerals, like vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, copper, and calcium. Leek is a complete and tasty vegetable that should be more often shown on the menu.
