Pumpkin cake is made of pumpkin and glutinous rice flour. Pumpkin contains starch, protein, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and other ingredients, and it is nutritious. While glutinous rice contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid and starch, and its nutritional content is not inferior to pumpkin. So what are the nutritional values of pumpkin pie?

The main components of pumpkin pie are: chromium, nickel, magnesium, cellulose, protein, carotene, vitamin A, amino acids, minerals, carbohydrates, starch, multivitamins and so on.

1, polysaccharide. Pumpkin polysaccharide is a non-specific immune enhancer, which can improve the immune function, promote the production of cytokines, and play a variety of regulatory functions on the immune system by activating complement.

2, carotenoids. The carotenoids in pumpkin pie can be converted into vitamin A with important physiological functions in the body, which has important physiological functions for the growth and differentiation of epithelial tissues, maintaining normal vision and promoting the development of bones.

3. Mineral elements. Pumpkin cake is high in calcium, potassium and sodium, which is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and patients with hypertension, and is conducive to preventing osteoporosis and hypertension.

4. Amino acids and active proteins. Pumpkin cake contains many kinds of amino acids needed by human body, among which lysine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine and threonine are high. In addition, the genotype of ascorbic acid oxidase in pumpkin is the same as that in tobacco, but its activity is obviously higher than that in tobacco, indicating that the content of immunocompetent protein in pumpkin is higher.

5. Starch. Starch will be converted into glucose when it enters the human body, and the starch in pumpkin pie has certain other nutrients, which can enhance the human body's resistance.

6. protein. Protein is the main material of tissue cells, and protein has the effect of regulating osmotic pressure.

7. vitamins. Vitamins are a kind of trace organic substances that people and animals must obtain from food to maintain normal physiological functions, and play an important role in the process of human growth, metabolism and development. Pumpkin cakes are rich in vitamin B and vitamin C.

8. Mineral elements. Pumpkin cake contains many mineral elements, such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, which can prevent osteoporosis and hypertension, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and patients with hypertension.
