Porrum Ampeloprasum

Wild leek, scientifically known as Porrum ampeloprasum, is a rare and elusive plant native to the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean. It is often mistaken for its more common relative, the wild garlic, but possesses a distinctively stronger flavor and aroma. This plant thrives in shaded, moist environments and is typically found in rocky or forested areas. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species in many regions. Its unique characteristics make it a subject of interest for botanists and foragers alike.
