| Description |
English: Rows of leek (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum) in a field Hundred Acre Plantation can be seen in the background (left).
Leek, along with the onion and garlic, is a member of the Alliaceae family. Rather than forming a tight bulb like the onion, however, the leek produces a long cylinder of bundled leaf sheaths. The leek is one of the national emblems of Wales, worn by Welsh citizens on St. David's Day and it is still tradition for soldiers in the Welsh regiments to eat a raw leek on St. David's Day. According to legend, King Cadwallader ordered his Welsh soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the vegetable on their helmets in an ancient battle against the Saxons. Another version refers to the Battle of Agincourt, where the leeks in their caps are said to have distinguished the Welsh archers from their enemies when they fought with Henry V against the French.
