I always buy it because it gives the soup a delicious flavor, and you can tell it's fresh and from the land. Aside from how delicious it is, it's great for everything: for my immune system, for going to the bathroom, and I'm told it's even good for my cholesterol.

I don't usually write vegetable reviews, but these organic leeks from Sanus Market deserve it. The moment you cut them, you notice the difference: the aroma is incredibly mild, and they don't have that hard, woody core you find in supermarkets. You can tell they're fresh and locally grown. We mainly use them in vegetable soups and broths.
