- It distinguishes a leek by its broad, flat leaf fan, rather than treating it as an oversized scallion.
Field notes
The page moves from a short botanical family tree to a lineup of four familiar vegetables, then compares their shape, base, size, and botanical lane. It pairs those identification clues with taste notes and suggested uses, such as daepa for soups, grilling, and pa-kimchi. Its caveat on “green onion” is useful: the market name may refer to a bunching onion or an immature bulb onion.
