The main nutrients are vitamin C, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid, carotene, carbohydrates and minerals. Leek is also rich in cellulose. Every100g of leek contains1.5g of cellulose, which is higher than that of scallion and celery. It can promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer, reduce the absorption of cholesterol, and prevent and treat diseases such as arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

Although leek has many benefits to human body, not the more the better. Compendium of Materia Medica once recorded: "Eating more leeks makes people dizzy, especially after drinking." Modern medicine believes that people with hyperactivity of yang and febrile diseases are not suitable for eating. There is a lot of crude fiber in leek, 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 at100 ~ 200g, not exceeding 400g.

Leek is a kind of happy and troublesome food for many people. I like its taste, but I'm worried that my stomach will be upset after eating it. There is a famous saying in Zhou Qing of Southern Qi Dynasty: "Early spring brings early leek, late autumn brings late leek", and this "leek" is naturally leek. The quality of leeks in early spring is the best, followed by late autumn and the worst in summer. There is a saying, "Spring vegetables smell good, but Natsuna stinks".

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, sulfide will volatilize when heated, so when cooking leeks, you must quickly stir fry in the pan. If you heat it a little too much, you will lose the taste of leeks.
