As we all know, melon seeds are nothing more than sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds and white melon seeds, such as Zhenglin and qiaqia. But there is a kind of melon seeds that few people know, especially in the north, and even less known. It is the hanging melon seed known as the "king of melon seeds"!
Guagua, as its name implies, is the seed of Guagua. Look, this is Guagua.
This is the "mother" hanging melon:) Is it like a small "watermelon" growing on a tree:)
There is also a famous name called Trichosanthes kirilowii, which grows in some places in the south where the climate is warm at an altitude of 100~ 1000 meters. It is an authentic pollution-free green food! This can't be seen in the north. The so-called "scarcity is precious".
The whole body of the gourd is a treasure, and its fruits and roots can be used as medicine. Its medicinal value can be recorded in Ben Jing, Ben Cao Tu Jing and Ben Cao Compendium. I won't say more here.
Guagua seeds are very delicious, with thin skin and thick flesh (how can it be like jiaozi in the north?), full grains, crispy and unique, and full of fragrance. Personally, I think hanging melon seeds have the best taste:)
Melon seeds are also rich in nutrients, such as protein, fat, cellulose and trace elements, as well as alkaloids, flavonoids, malnutrition and organic substances.
Hanging melon seeds are not only delicious, but also have health care functions. It can strengthen the stomach, moisten the lungs, eliminate phlegm, disperse the stagnation and smooth the intestines, and also has certain curative effects on phlegm-heat cough, lung phlegm and hemoptysis, chest tightness, diarrhea and constipation. Hehe, it feels like a drug advertisement.
Guagua seeds can also diminish inflammation and fight cancer. This is proved by data. The Compendium of New Anti-cancer Methods published by Shanghai Science and Technology Literature Publishing House says: Cucurbita moschata has a remarkable effect on lung cancer, gastric cancer, insulin breast cancer and so on. Hehe, Guagua is a good DD!
So, the melon seeds are nutritious, delicious and healthy, and they are known as the "king of melon seeds", which is the top grade of melon seeds.
In short, in a word: eat more "hanging melon seeds" and be full of food and health care!
