Introduction of Chinese chives

It is also known as aphrodisiac grass, yang-driving grass, immortal grass, and yang-raising grass.

Chives are the leaves of the leek plant of the Liliaceae family, a perennial root vegetable.

It is native to East Asia and has a long history of cultivation in my country. It is widely distributed, especially those produced in the Northeast, where the quality is better.

The types of non-vegetable leeks can be divided into three types: leeks for leaves, leeks for flowers, and leeks for both flowers and leaves. The leaves of leeks for leaves are wider and softer, with less moss, and the leaves are mainly eaten. The leaves of leeks for flowers are short and hard, with more moss, and the flower stems are mainly harvested. The leeks for both flowers and leaves are good, and most of them are cultivated in my country.

Due to the different leaf shapes, it can be divided into broad-leaf allium and fine-leaf allium. Broad-leaf allium is cold-resistant and is also called mouth allium. It is mostly cultivated in the north. The leaves are wide and soft, light green, less fiber, and of good quality, but the fragrance is not as good as fine-leaf allium. Fine-leaf allium is heat-resistant and is mostly cultivated in the south. The leaves are narrow and long, dark green, more fiber, and rich in fragrance.

The leek grown in the dark in the greenhouse is also called leek. Its roots are round and white, and its leaves are light yellow with a slight earthy smell. The leaves are tender and soft, but not as fragrant as leek.

Leeks are the main ingredient in making dumplings during the Chinese New Year in the north. They are green in color and have a strong flavor, which can enhance the flavor of both meat and vegetarian dishes.
