The long blanched leaf bases of leek resemble thick green onions, except that the 
leaves are thick and flattened and the base is never more than slightly swollen. They are 
mild in flavor and used as flavoring either raw in salads, or cooked. 
The quality of leek is improved by blanching, which should begin only after the plants 
are well grown. Plants should be harvested before freezing weather sets in.
