Leek

If You Read Nothing Else

The inulin in leek feeds gut bacteria rather than feeding you. That is the point of it.

Most of the flavour is in the pale part, and most of the nutrients are in the dark green tops people throw away.

Grit hides between the layers. Split it lengthways and rinse under running water.

It is high-FODMAP, so the same fibre that helps most people can trouble a sensitive gut.
