Leek microgreens are part of the allium family of vegetables, boasting a distinctive blend of flavonoids and sulfur-rich compounds. Sharing close kinship with garlic, onions, shallots, and scallions, these microgreens offer an impressive spectrum of over 80 essential nutrients. Among them, kaempferol, a potent flavonol with potential cancer-fighting properties, takes center stage. Widely embraced by chefs, leek microgreens are prized for their mild onion flavor and their ability to enhance the visual appeal of any culinary creation.
