Yes, but you have to wash them after you slice them. Put them in a big bowl of water, and stir them around, then remove them from the bowl without dumping them out of the bowl.

@boklenholley7 Do you watch Food Network shows. Everytime one of the chefs use leeks, they explain how to prep them.
@Tom610 nope. I'm just really learning how to cook from my roommate, and he hadn't used leeks before either. Thank you, though!!

@boklenholley7 Best of luck with your future culinary endeavors.
If you are ever in need of quick information, I would suggest looking at YouTube videos. There are so many knowledgeable people there, and watching a few different videos will give you a perspective on different directions you can go with the same dish.

No they have a unique wonderful taste. But they can be used as a substitute

They are in the onion family but they seem to give a unique flavor to a soup made from them. I don鈥檛 think you can substitute anything for that.

Leeks are what grow from the ground when drunk men take a leak on fertile soil.
No. Green onions are just miniature leeks.

Sort of, they're a member of the onion family.
