Garlic Chives are widely used in Korea cuisine, most notably in dishes such as buchukimchi( garlic chive kimchi), buchujeon( garlic chive pancake), etc....

在韩国料理中，韭菜是非常普遍被采用的蔬菜之一，最常见的料理不外是韭菜泡菜，韭菜煎饼等。。。

Allicum tuberosum, (commonly known as garlic chives, Chinese chives, Oriental garlic, Chinese leek, also known by the Chinese name kow choi (also transliterated as gau choy; Chinese: 韭菜; pinyin: Jiǔcài), or the Japanese name nira, is a vegetable related to onion. The Chinese name for the species is variously adapted and transliterated as cuchay, jiucai, kucai, kuchay, or kutsay in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
韭菜原產於中國；中国人种韭菜已经有3000多年歷史，在《诗经》中就有「献羔祭韭」的诗句；韭菜于9世纪传入日本，后逐渐传入东亚各国；今多在亞洲種植。
韭菜含有蛋白质、维生素B、維生素C，还有礦物質鈣和磷。里面的胡萝卜素也有很多，仅次于胡萝卜，比大蒜多。
此外，韭菜籽外號亦作“起陽籽”，原因是它含有蒜素，可在血液中釋放一氧化二氮，能令血管擴張，從而令一般因血脂過高而血管閉塞，從而引致陽痿的人，改善勃起功能障礙的問題，因而得名。
在《本草纲目》中提到韭菜的功效是：「生汁主上气，喘息欲绝，解肉脯毒。煮汁饮，能止消咳盗汗。韭籽补肝及命门，治小便频数，遗尿。」
