韭菜家族養腎助陽
韭菜帶有特殊香味，情況同芫茜差不多，讓人對它愛恨分明，別看輕這棵經常在米線中出現的配菜，它別號長生韭、起陽菜、壯陽菜，是少數性熱的蔬菜，具健胃暖中的功效之餘，更有溫腎助陽作用。韭菜、韭菜花和韭黃常常讓人混淆，其實都是同一種植物，功效相約，只是收割時間和處理手法不同，帶來不同味道和口感。
韭菜 — 性熱，味甘辛，具健胃暖中、溫腎助陽、散瘀活血功效，適合偏寒體質、陽虛怕冷、腰膝酸軟、男士陽事衰弱、尿頻人士；女士陽氣不足以致行經小腹冷痛食用。由於性熱，陰虛火旺者不宜食用。
韭菜花 — 韭菜生長到後期會開始長花，此時韭菜變得太過成熟口感變差，一般只收採開花的前端部份作食用。
韭黃 — 當韭菜生長時，刻意遮光阻礙韭菜吸收陽光，在不能產生光合作用之下不含葉綠素，不會變成綠色，就會成為韭黃，口感比韭菜嫩滑。
