As the saying goes, "June leek stinks to death, September leek Buddha speaks", is it reasonable?

That makes sense.

The texture of leek in June is far worse than before, and the taste is much worse than that of leek in spring, so people at that time concluded that leek in June was even worse. Moreover, for rural people in the past, they didn't have such equipment as refrigerators. As long as it comes to summer, it is difficult to store all the food for a long time. In particular, leeks have a pungent taste. If you cut a batch of leeks in hot weather in June, if you don't eat them in time, they will soon go bad and stink. So people at that time often said that leeks in June were not eaten by dogs, so people would not taste them.

In addition, leeks in summer are particularly easy for elders to eat, and the taste is not as tender as leeks in spring. Therefore, it will have a certain impact on the human digestive system. Eating too much will cause diarrhea. Therefore, people with bad stomachs had better not eat leeks in summer.

The second half of the proverb is the second best time to eat leeks. Just now we mentioned that it is more appropriate to eat leeks in spring, so besides that, leeks are very delicious in autumn. After all, leeks in autumn are widely used. People can not only eat leek leaves, but also make leek flowers into leek sauce. This stuff goes well with hot pot! Many people, including today, like to pickle an altar of leek flower sauce last autumn, so that they can have a nice hot pot dinner in winter. Perhaps only the "Buddha's Mouth" in the ancient population can describe the delicacy of autumn leeks more vividly.
