Leek, also called Cao Yang, is very delicious and has a unique fragrance. The unique pungent smell of leek is formed by its sulfide, which has certain bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects and is helpful to improve human immunity.
These sulfides in leek can also help the human body absorb vitamin B 1 and vitamin A, so leek is a more nutritious way to eat with pork food rich in vitamin B 1. However, sulfides are volatile when heated, so it is necessary to quickly turn the wok when cooking leeks. If you heat it too much, you will lose the flavor of leek.
Foods you can't eat with leeks:
1, leek. Amaranth should not be eaten with beef. Amaranth is pungent and warm, which has the function of warming the middle and helping yang, while beef is warm and has the function of benefiting qi and strengthening yang. Eating them together is like adding fuel to the fire, which makes people feel weak and causes gum swelling and pain.
Second, honey. Vitamin C in leek is easily destroyed by minerals in honey. Leek is rich in dietary fiber, honey moistens the bowels to relieve constipation, and it is easy to cause diarrhea when eaten in large quantities.
Third, white wine. Liquor is pungent, which can promote blood circulation, dilate blood vessels, make leeks pungent, nourish and strengthen yang. Eating together, for people who have recovered from a serious illness, is simply adding fuel to the fire and should not be eaten together.
