I mean redish.

Since most of them not available and are very expensive with the pension I get from government. I take fruits like Guava papaya etc

In UK, we can get most of Asian veg. There are two I use a lot, " In India, Ponnanganni is known as the β€œgolden plant.”" and Vallari, green leaves. today I read leeks are also good. I use leeks as well.

Do you put the leeks mixed in for a salad/main meal or do you eat them on the side? :-)

We cook leeks in butter with salt and pepper, have it with other veg with roast chicken or oven cooked fresh fish. Cooked as a veg curry to have it with rice with other curries.

That sounds nice to have with fish and mixed in for curries. Do you have the leeks and curry once a week? :-)

AS it is cheaper to but pre packed, we have it two or three times in small quantities.

In today's Mail on line.

"The latest weapon against aches and pain? Leeks..."

"Another step is a diet rich in prebiotics, found in onions, garlic and leeks, which are converted by the β€˜good’ bacteria in the gut into anti-inflammatory chemicals"

Thank you for the information and link. It was very interesting.:-)

It's good to have small quantities of certain things two to three times a week. It's one way to use things up and cook different types of meals. :-) We do this sometimes, too.
