This week for Fresh Tip Tuesday I shared some fun facts about Leeks. Yes, that onion like vegetable that belongs to the lily family. Many people stay away from leeks or have never had them that I had to share. They have so many nutrients and health benefits from detoxifying your skin, to helping with digestion. But the really cool stuff is their place in history. For Example, did you know that Greeks and Romans loved leeks? Aristotle was known to eat leeks as well as Great Roman emperor Nero because it was said to strengthen their throat and enhance their voice. Leeks were very popular during the Middle Ages in Europe as well. Girls have slept with leek under their pillows on the St. David’s Day to see their future husbands in dreams. Single ladies! March 1st, you know what to do 🙂
This Potato Leek soup takes less than 20 mins and is quite yummy if I say so myself. Watch the click here and remember you can always get my Fresh Product Picks at www.twcorinne.com.
