Precautions for eating Chinese chives

1. Chinese chives should not be heated for too long or eaten raw. Because leek is rich in vitamin B, heating will destroy these ingredients, and the longer the heating time, the more damage. Leek has a lot of cellulose, which is difficult to digest. Unlike onion and garlic, which can be peeled before eating, the edible part is close to the ground, often contaminated by microorganisms and parasitic eggs, and there are many ramets, which are not easy to wash clean, so it is not suitable for raw food.

2. Don't eat with wine and honey. "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded: "Eating more leeks makes you dizzy, especially after drinking." Moreover, leek and wine can help fire, which is easy to cause gastritis and ulcer. Honey is smooth and smooth, and leek is rich in cellulose, which can lead to diarrhea. If the two are eaten together, it is more likely to cause diarrhea. Therefore, the compendium of materia medica says that leeks should not be eaten with honey.

3. cooked leeks overnight should not be eaten again. Because leek contains more nitrate, if it is stored for too long, nitrate will be transformed into nitrite, which will cause toxic reaction.
