Leek (sliced)

Leek is a mild, sweet member of the onion family with long, layered white and green stalks, used in soups, stews, and as a base aromatic in French cooking. It has a more delicate, less pungent flavour than onion and requires thorough rinsing between its layers, where dirt often becomes trapped during growing. Its texture softens into a silky consistency when slowly cooked.

Slicing changes an ingredient's shape and how it settles into a measuring cup compared with the whole or diced form.
