Leeks
Leeks are related to onions, shallots and scallions to which they bear a resemblance. They look like large scallions having a very small bulb and a long white cylindrical stalk of superimposed layers that flows into green, tightly wrapped, flat leaves.
STORAGE
Keep leeks refrigerated (32-36°F). When preparing, trim white part, discard greens.
