Extended data

The main nutritional components of leek are vitamin C, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid, carotene, carbohydrates and minerals. Leek is also rich in cellulose, and the cellulose content per 100g of leek is 1.5g, which is higher than that of scallion and celery.

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.
