Pumpkin pie is made of pumpkin and glutinous rice flour. Pumpkin contains starch, protein, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and other ingredients, and is rich in nutrition. While glutinous rice contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid and starch, and its nutritional content is not inferior to pumpkin. So what are the nutritional values of pumpkin pie?

The main components of pumpkin pie are: chromium, nickel, magnesium, cellulose, protein, carotene, vitamin A, amino acids, minerals, carbohydrates, starch, multivitamins and so on.

1, polysaccharide. Pumpkin polysaccharide is a non-specific immune enhancer, which can improve immune function, promote the production of cytokines, and play a variety of regulatory functions on the immune system by activating complement.

2. Carotenoids. Carotenoids in pumpkin pie can be transformed into vitamin A with important physiological functions in vivo, which has important physiological functions for the growth and differentiation of epithelial tissues, maintaining normal vision and promoting the development of bones.

3. Mineral elements. Pumpkin cake is high in calcium, potassium and sodium, which is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and patients with hypertension, and is conducive to preventing osteoporosis and hypertension.

4. Amino acids and active protein. Pumpkin cake contains many kinds of amino acids needed by human body, among which lysine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine and threonine are higher. In addition, the genotype of ascorbic acid oxidase in pumpkin is the same as that in tobacco, but its activity is obviously higher than that in tobacco, indicating that the content of immunocompetent protein in pumpkin is higher.

5. starch. Starch will be converted into glucose after entering the human body, and the starch in pumpkin pie has certain other nutrients, which can enhance the human body's resistance.

6. protein. Protein is the main substance of tissues and cells, and protein can regulate osmotic pressure.

7. vitamins. Vitamin is a trace organic substance that people and animals must obtain from food to maintain normal physiological functions, and plays an important role in the process of human growth, metabolism and development. Pumpkin cakes are rich in vitamin b and vitamin C.

8. Mineral elements. Pumpkin cake contains a variety of mineral elements, such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, which can prevent osteoporosis and hypertension, and is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and patients with hypertension.
