Leeks, raw

Leeks are vegetables in the onion family. The figures here describe raw leeks that have been trimmed, with damaged outer leaves removed. They provide carbohydrate and fibre, with smaller amounts of protein. Per 100g, they contain 4.1g of carbohydrate, 2.8g of fibre, 1.5g of protein and 33µg of folate.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells. Raw leeks contain only trace amounts of salt and little saturated fat. Added salt, butter or sauces will change the nutritional content of a prepared dish. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
