I usually eat scrambled eggs with leeks. Sometimes I make a leek box. Can leeks be eaten raw?

    Leeks can be eaten both cooked and raw. The spicy flavor of leek is mainly derived from volatile thiopropylene, which can increase appetite, and also has the functions of dissipating blood stasis, promoting blood circulation, detoxification and so on. Leek is also an antibacterial vegetable, which can inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, raw chives can make better use of the above-mentioned effects, and cooked eating will reduce the spicy taste and its effect, so the chives should be fried in a hurry.
