  • Fiber: Leek provides some dietary fiber, which promotes gut health and digestion.
  • Organosulfur Compounds: The unique flavor and health benefits of Leek come from its organosulfur compounds, particularly allicin. Allicin is formed when Leek is crushed or chopped and has various potential health benefits.
