Nutritional value of pumpkin

1. Pumpkin contains protein, and the content of immunoreactive protein is relatively high. Because the genotype of ascorbic acid oxidase in pumpkin is the same as that in tobacco, but its activity is higher than that in tobacco, the content of immunocompetent protein in pumpkin is relatively high.

2. Pumpkin contains many kinds of amino acids needed by human body, among which threonine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine and isoleucine are higher.

3. Pumpkin is rich in polysaccharide, which can improve human immune ability, because pumpkin polysaccharide is a non-specific immune enhancer, which can promote the production of cytokines, so it can regulate the immune system.

4. Pumpkin is rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in human body, and vitamin A is an important vitamin in human body, which can protect vision, promote the growth and differentiation of epithelial tissues and promote the development of bones.

Pumpkin is also rich in pectin. After pectin enters the stomach, it can adjust the absorption speed of food in the stomach and reduce the absorption of sugar. Moreover, because pumpkin is rich in dietary fiber, dietary fiber will not be digested and absorbed by human body, but will stay in the stomach for a long time, delaying the emptying of food in the stomach and controlling the rise of blood sugar.
