They look too thin and tender to be leeks. My best guess is that they are scallions or green onions which I always knew to be one and the same.
But curiously, they have much more "white" than all of the green onions or scallions I have ever seen.
So maybe they ARE a different vegetable and we all just don't know it???

they are scallions sometimes called shallots (not to be confused with french eschallots) they are definetely not leeks. Leeks have flat leaves that are a v shape, these are round and hollow.

green onions.They are too small to be leeks, and too thick to be scallions.
