Because leek is rich in nutrition, it has the effects of tonifying kidney, strengthening stomach, refreshing, stopping sweating and arresting astringency, and is rich in cellulose and sulfide. Eating leeks can supplement the minerals needed by the body and is beneficial to the development of embryos in the first trimester.

Leek is also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, carotene and vitamins, and it is nutritious. Eating leeks properly by pregnant women can enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and also promote the growth and development of the fetus.

Prevention of constipation during pregnancy

Leek is also rich in cellulose. The content of cellulose in leek per 100g is 1.5g, which is higher than that in scallion and celery. It can promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation during pregnancy and reduce the absorption of cholesterol. Proper consumption is beneficial to pregnant women.

High nutritional value

Chinese chives have high nutritional value. Every 100g edible part contains 2-2.85g of protein, 0.2-0.5g of fat, 2.4-6g of carbohydrate and 0.6-3.2g of cellulose, which is rich in nutrients such as carotene, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and iron, which is beneficial to the demand of early pregnancy embryos for vitamins and minerals.

You can't eat too much at a time

Leek contains a lot of crude fiber, which is not easy to digest and absorb, so you can't eat too much leek at a time, otherwise a lot of crude fiber will stimulate the intestinal wall and often cause diarrhea. The appetite should be controlled at 100~200g, not more than 400g.

knack for cooking

The sulfide in leek can help the human body absorb vitamin B 1 and vitamin A, but the sulfide will volatilize when heated. Therefore, when cooking leeks, you need to fry the pot quickly, and if it is a little hot, it will lose the taste of leeks.
