Table of nutritional components of melon seeds and sunflower seeds
Introduction:
Sunflower seeds are indispensable snacks in people's lives, and sunflower seeds are the best among melon seeds. Sunflower seeds can be used not only as snacks, but also as raw materials for making cakes. Because sunflower seeds are plant seeds and contain a lot of oil, sunflower seeds are still important raw materials for oil extraction. Sunflower seed oil is a high-grade healthy oil highly praised by nutrition circles in recent years.
Sunflower seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, of which linoleic acid, which is essential for human body, accounts for about 50% ~ 60%. Linoleic acid can not only reduce human serum cholesterol, but also inhibit the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels. Therefore, eating sunflower seeds can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Sunflower seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, but also contain a variety of vitamins, folic acid, iron, potassium, zinc and other essential nutrients. Sunflower seeds contain a lot of edible fiber, and every 7 grams of sunflower seeds contain 1 gram, which is much higher than the proportion of edible fiber in apples. The American Cancer Institute has proved in related experiments that dietary fiber can reduce the incidence of colon cancer. The iron content in sunflower seeds is twice that of raisins and peanuts, so it can also prevent anemia. Another point is that protein of sunflower seeds contains arginine. Arginine is an indispensable component in semen production. Therefore, it is very beneficial for men in reproductive period to eat some sunflower seeds every day.
The content of vitamin E in sunflower seeds is very high. Everyone can meet the daily vitamin E requirement by eating only one handful of sunflower seeds every day. People with normal body, eating more sunflower seeds every day is good for supplementing vitamins in the body. People with normal health can meet the needs of vitamin supplementation by eating about 50 grams of sunflower seeds every day.

Nutritional analysis:
1. Sunflower seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, high-quality protein, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin B 1 and other nutrients;
2. It is rich in potassium, which is beneficial to protect heart function and prevent hypertension;
3. Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E, which can prevent aging, improve immunity and prevent cardiovascular diseases;
4. Phytosterols and phospholipids contained in sunflower seeds can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in human body, prevent excessive plasma cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis;
Sunflower seeds can also regulate the metabolism of brain cells and improve their inhibitory function, so they can be used for hypnosis.
Suitable for people:
The general population can eat it.
1, suitable for cancer patients; Suitable for people with hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and hypertension; Suitable for insomnia caused by neurasthenia; Suitable for pinworm patients;
2, warm and dry after frying, eating too much is easy to cause dry mouth, aphtha, toothache and other symptoms.
Dietotherapy function:
Sunflower seeds are flat and sweet; Has the effects of tonifying deficiency, reducing blood lipid and resisting cancer.
Taboo:
Try to peel the shell by hand, or use a sheller, so as not to often bite the melon seeds with your teeth and damage the enamel. Peeling the shell with the mouth often leads to erosion of the tongue and mouth, and takes away a lot of body fluids when spitting the shell, which dulls the taste. Hepatitis patients had better not eat sunflower seeds, because it will damage the liver and cause cirrhosis.
Buy cooked sunflower seeds:
From the production method, for example, sunflower seeds are fried in a large pot, and the ingredients are put in the pot and then fried. The flavor of the seasoning is all on the sunflower seed skin. So, you can try this: put melon seeds on your hands and rub them hard, and you will see a lot of residue on your hands. Here are some spices and some ashes from the street. And some sunflower seeds, first of all, look from the appearance, its color is brighter.

After soaking, all the flavors are integrated into the melon seeds, and then dried, so it can be said that the flavors are all inside. Generally speaking, there are only two ways to produce sunflower seeds.
Professional processing plants generally adopt fully enclosed production technology. No one will touch sunflower seeds from raw materials entering the production line to finished products off the production line, thus ensuring food hygiene. In addition, there are strict requirements on material selection and ingredients. Another thing to remind everyone is that if sunflower seeds are stored for too long, the oil in them will affect the normal metabolism of human cells after oxidation, thus causing harm such as aging and cancer. Generally, the shelf life of sunflower seeds in bulk on the street cannot be confirmed, so it is recommended that you buy products marked with shelf life, preferably within the shelf life.
