Tips

  • Leeks are a great source of fibre, supporting a healthy gut.
  • Leeks also provide a good amount of Vitamin K and A and play an important role in eye health, bone health and heart health.
  • The salsa provides a boost of healthy fats from the pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and olive oil. These high-quality fats are essential for brain function, providing energy, keeping you satisfied and supporting blood sugar regulation.
  • The addition of ricotta cheese to the leeks not only adds a creamy element to this dish but is a good source of protein and calcium. The combination of fibre, protein, and healthy fats will help keep you satisfied, making it a great choice for anyone looking to nourish their body.'
