Leek coloring pages

Cute coloring pages with leeks will delight children and introduce them to this useful vegetable. The herbaceous plant with its large green-yellow leaves and white base is used in cooking and medicine. Sweet and tender leeks are cooked, roasted or added raw to vegetable salads. Leeks are also used to make pie fillings and season soups. Leeks, or pearl onions as they are called, are one of the national symbols of Wales. The plant has gone down in history because of its unusual appearance and pronounced medicinal properties.
