Pumpkin blossoms are a seasonal delicacy rich in protein and amino acids, along with significant amounts of fats, sugars, and bio-enzymes. They replenish the body with a variety of essential nutrients, contributing to health and well-being.
1. Pumpkin blossoms contain an abundance of protein, various vitamins, and minerals such as iron and calcium, with nutritional components many times higher than other parts of the pumpkin.
2. They are also rich in carotenoids, which have auxiliary prevention and treatment effects on various types of cancer, such as lung, stomach, and malignant lymphoma, all closely related to the content of carotenoids in the blood.
3. According to Singaporean nutritionist Dobby’s research, consuming pumpkin blossoms can effectively improve intelligence quotient.
4. It has also been proven that the pollen part contains the most nutrients, earning it the reputation of being an ‘all-round vegetable’ and a ‘micronutrition treasure trove’, making it a ‘perfect nutritional food’.
