can we use geen part of leeks?

Usually I use only the white and light green portion of the leeks, but I don't waste the dark green. I pack the dark green parts in a freezer baggie and freeze it. I use it to make vegetable soup stock. I use the dark leeks, a carrot, half an onion, some parley and celery stalks which I have also saved, season it with salt and pepper let it simmer for a while, put it through a strainer and make vegetable soup with the clear broth. I discard the vegetables I used to make the stock. Tell us how your leeks turned out.

Hello chubby3367..... Yes, you can use the green part. The flavor is the same. Also, the difference in color can and a new look to your meal. Tom

Well, according to the Wikipedia enty on leeks you can eat the white part and the light green part. I'm guessing the upper dark green part either dosen't taste good, or is too fiberous. What are you planning on making? I like potato leek soup myself, though I haven't made it in ages. Ther are tons of recipies for it on the web, but I tend to make a lighter version omitting the milk or cream (I'm lactose intolerant so thats make me want to omit the milk even more). If you have a stick blender, or regular blender you can use that to make the soup creamier. Happy Cooking!

I have always heard that you are not supposed to use the dark green parts of a leek. It is much like the top of a carrot (or other veggies that grow underground) in regards that you discard it. Hope that helps.
