When it comes to pomegranate, what is indispensable is its benefits. Back in the Han Dynasty, people in China could enjoy delicious pomegranate. "Natural History" records that "Zhang Qian went to the Western Ocean in the Han Dynasty and got pomegranate seeds, hence the name" An Pomegranate ". Later, because of the characteristics of pomegranate, it was also implied as an auspicious fruit with many children and many blessings. It can clear away heat and detoxify, stop diarrhea, calm the liver and improve eyesight, and moisten the lungs.
When you taste pomegranate, it naturally has high nutritional value, and is rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, organic acids and other nutrients. Compared with other levels, the content of vitamin C is higher.
It can supplement vitamin C and resist oxidation. Because pomegranate has a low glycemic index, even diabetics can eat it in moderation.
Compared with pomegranate peel, pomegranate peel occasionally feels astringent, because pomegranate peel contains a lot of tannic acid, which can stop diarrhea to a certain extent, and the title of antidiarrheal fruit comes from this.
There are also pomegranate seeds that many people are not optimistic about. Many people will spit it out after eating it, but they don't know that pomegranate seeds contain a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which can account for more than 90% in nutritional value. But because of the taste problem, everyone can ignore it. After all, there are many foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as nuts, deep-sea fish and prawns. Eating them in moderation is a good choice.
Here, I also want to sincerely remind everyone that not everyone is suitable for eating pomegranate. People with these diseases should pay attention to:
1, constipation population
Because pomegranate is a good antidiarrheal fruit, it is best to eat less pomegranate to avoid aggravating the disease.
2. Younger children
It is not recommended for children under 2 years old to eat pomegranate, mainly because children will not spit pomegranate seeds and are prone to accidents such as airway obstruction;
3. People who are prone to food accumulation
Because children's gastrointestinal function is not perfect, it is easy to accumulate food, and there are phenomena such as dry stool, abdominal distension, belching and bad breath. It is easy to be malnourished for a long time, so it is best not to eat pomegranate at this time.
Misunderstanding about pomegranate;
Some people say that eating pomegranate is easy to get angry. This statement is just a misunderstanding of getting angry, just because you eat too much. Because pomegranate contains a certain amount of sugar, there are symptoms such as dry mouth and suspected fire.
Others say that eating pomegranate can replenish blood. However, supplementing blood is actually supplementing iron. Pomegranate only contains 0.2 mg of iron per 100 g, which has no effect of iron supplementation.
