Introduction: Pumpkin contains starch, protein, carotene, vitamins B and C, and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. It is nutritious, a frequently consumed gourd vegetable in rural areas, and is increasingly valued by city dwellers. Not only is it delicious, but it also has significant therapeutic effects.
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that pumpkin is yellow in color and sweet in taste, and is great for replenishing vital energy. It should not be overlooked because it is common. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records its effect of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi. The "Dian Nan Ben Cao" from the Ming Dynasty states that it "promotes urination." Modern medical research indicates that the pumpkin fruit contains 7%-17% pectin, which has strong adsorption properties. It can bind to and eliminate bacteria and their toxic substances in the human body, protect the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, and has a certain therapeutic effect on digestive tract ulcers. The rich vitamins in the pumpkin fruit have a protective effect on mucous membranes and also play a role in protecting vision, preventing eye diseases, and for beauty and weight loss.
