The leek is a vegetable that belongs, along with onion and garlic, to the genus Allium, currently placed in family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Allioideae.[1] Historically, many scientific names were used for leeks, which are now treated as cultivars of Allium ampeloprasum.[2] Two related vegetables, elephant garlic and Kurrat, are also cultivars of A. ampeloprasum, although different in their uses as food.
The edible part of the leek plant is a bundle of leaf sheaths that is sometimes erroneously called a stem or stalk.
