I rarely see leeks, and when I do, theyโ€™re extremely expensive. Such a versatile vegetable that I wish more Americans knew about!

Where do you live where leeks are not common? Speaking for California here, theyโ€™re a common grocery store item.

Midwest here, I too can buy leeks any day of the week

Yeah, probably has more do to with proximity to at least a B tier grocery store. If your local grocer is Target, Walmart, or Family Dollar, then youโ€™re only going to have access to the vegetables from Veggietales and bread from a plastic bag.

They grow naturally where I live. Not the giant ones like Farfetch'd carries, but when I was a kid, I loved digging them up in the woods and just eating them raw lol
