Pumpkin flour
It has long been known that pumpkin seed flour has no less healing properties than the orange beauty itself and its seeds. This valuable product is obtained by processing pumpkin seeds with their preliminary cleaning.
The composition of the flour includes:
- gluten;
- large composition of amino acids;
- arigin;
- carbohydrates;
- fiber;
- vegetable protein;
- fats;
- vitamins - C, B, K, E and F;
- minerals - phosphorus, zinc, potassium.
All these components retain their huge reserves during grain processing. Pumpkin seed flour, the use of which has gained popularity especially in the last decade, thanks to useful composition has a positive effect on the functioning of many organs and systems and does not require a special method of use. Just add it during cooking homemade baked goods, mix with fermented milk products, cook porridge from it, mixing it with cereal.
The main substance that makes pumpkin flour healing is arigin. This is a rare component in plant products that has a positive effect on the condition of many organs:
- is an excellent antioxidant;
- prevents premature aging of the body;
- is an immunostimulant that increases the body's resistance to external influences.
Arigin is a substance that helps lower blood sugar levels, which has a positive effect on people with diabetes and other endocrine diseases. Thanks to its properties, the activity of the endocrine glands is normalized.
Pumpkin seed flour is often used by overweight people with problems with the gastrointestinal tract, who suffer from stomach and intestinal ulcers. The non-aggressive action of flour does not irritate the inflamed mucous membrane, which characterizes safety of this product for these diseases.
The product contains vital amino acids, the deficiency of which in food causes the body to malfunction and reduces its resistance to many diseases. Thus, the amino acid isoleucine, necessary for the formation of hemoglobin, regulates blood sugar levels. And methionine and cysteine promote the production of insulin.
The calorie content of pumpkin flour is 305 kcal per 100 g of product, which is lower than that of wheat flour.
The fiber in pumpkin seeds, which remains in large quantities when processed into flour, acts as a cleansing component on the intestines, helping to remove the remnants of poorly digestible food from the body. This, in turn, does not allow harmful toxins and decomposition products to be deposited in the body. In retail sales you can buy packaged fiber from pumpkin seeds, which is added to everyday menu dishes at the rate indicated on the package.

Pumpkin treats
Those with a sweet tooth will love this tasty, nutritious and, most importantly, healthy product, which Dagestani housewives have been preparing for their men since ancient times.

The peculiarity of this delicacy is that you can prepare urbech from pumpkin seeds, flax, sunflower seeds, hemp, etc.
Zinc-rich urbech is produced from pumpkin seeds. Eating this paste has a beneficial effect on the health of hair and skin, improves intestinal microflora, and normalizes digestion. A large number of vitamin E makes pumpkin urbech a valuable source of antioxidants.
