Leeks are the leaves of the Liliaceae plant, a perennial root vegetable.
It is native to East Asia. It has a long history of cultivation in China and is widely distributed. Especially those produced in the Northeast have better quality.
The types of non-vegetables can be divided into three types: leaves, flowers and both flowers and leaves. The leaves of leek are wide and soft., less bolting, mainly eating leaves. The leaves of flowering leek are short and hard, with more flowering moss. They are mainly used to collect flower stems. They are both flower and leaf species with good flowers and leaves. Most of them are cultivated in China.
Due to different leaf types, it can be divided into two types: broad-leaf leek and fine-leaf leek. Broad-leaf leek is cold-resistant and is also known as oral leek. It is mostly cultivated in the north. The leaves are wide and soft, light green in color, with less fiber and high quality, but the fragrance is not as good as that of leek. The leek is heat-resistant and is mostly cultivated in the south. The leaves are narrow and long, dark green in color, rich in fiber and rich in fragrance.
Leeks grown in greenhouses in the dark are also called leeks. Their roots are round and white, and their leaves are light yellow with a slight earthy smell. The leaves are tender and soft, but not as fragrant as leeks.
