What you're looking at
A leek is a common garden vegetable that looks like a giant green onion at the supermarket. You'll find them in kitchens worldwide, where they're chopped up for soups, stir-fries, and classic dishes like potato leek soup. They're prized by cooks for their subtle flavour and tender texture.
When you slice a leek in half and look at it straight on, the extreme close-up reveals perfectly symmetrical rings and layers in shades of white, pale green, and darker green. These concentric circles create an almost hypnotic pattern that can be hard to recognise because most people are used to seeing leeks whole or in small chopped pieces, not magnified to show their intricate internal structure.
Look for concentric circular rings with a waxy, layered appearance in vegetable cross-sections.
