Second, the benefits of eating leeks in spring

The leek in early spring is fresh, tender, green and fragrant, which is most suitable for eating in spring, because it conforms to the health care concept of "helping the spring sun and nourishing the liver" in traditional Chinese medicine. The leek is not as good as one crop after cutting and harvesting, so that there is a saying among the people that "June leek stinks to death", "Spring leek smells good, and summer leek stinks".

Eating leeks in spring is mainly for stuffing and cooking, and it can also be made into soup or cold salad. When leek is used as stuffing, soup is often sprinkled (that is, it will seep out after salt is put). In order to prevent this phenomenon, the leek segments can be mixed with cooked oil before putting salt to ensure the dryness of the leek stuffing.
