1, chondroitin sulfate
Another rich component in sea cucumber is chondroitin sulfate, which can account for more than 10% of dry weight. Clinical trials show that it seems to have an effect on relieving joint pain. In the clinical trial of relieving joint pain, the experimental group that ate chondroitin sulfate did "feel much better". However, the placebo group also reported "feeling much better". Eating sea cucumber or chondroitin sulfate to relieve joint pain is not a bluff.
2. Saponin
Seafood is called "sea cucumber" because it contains saponins like ginseng and has a "nourishing" effect. Scientists found that sea cucumber contains many saponins. Saponins have cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and immunomodulatory effects. But the most attractive thing is anti-tumor. In some cell experiments, saponins have shown a good inhibitory effect on specific cancer cells. However, studies have found that saponins can not only inhibit cancer cells, but also kill normal cells.
Extended data:
The nutritional value of sea cucumber is good, but it also needs to be purchased and stored correctly to eat well.
1, optional:
Good sea cucumbers are full in shape, heavy in weight and thin in skin and thick in flesh. After water develops, it expands, is waxy, smooth and elastic, and contains no sand. A good water-soaked sea cucumber has bright color, no hard heart, elastic meat and complete spines.
If the sea cucumber is red, soft and sticky, or very thin, the meat is thin, the pit is big, and the barb is not straight, it is not suitable for purchase.
2. storage; stock
Sun-dried sea cucumber, put it in a double-layer food plastic bag, add a few garlic, then tie the bag tightly and hang it in a high place to avoid deterioration and moth-eaten. The prepared sea cucumber can't be stored for a long time, and it's better not to exceed 3 days. When storing, soak in cold water, change water 2-3 times a day, do not oil out, or put it in an ice-free refrigerator.
