What are the benefits of eating dried figs to the human body?
Ficus is a berry tree species, with edible rate as high as 92%, thin seedless skin, soft and sweet meat, and high nutritional value and medicinal value. Planting banyan trees has high economic, ecological and social benefits. First of all, fig has high nutritional value, and its fruit is rich in sugar, protein, amino acids, vitamins and mineral elements. According to the determination of Shandong Forestry Department, the soluble solid content of mature figs is as high as 24%, and the sugar content of most varieties is between 15%-22%, which is more than double that of many first-and second-generation fruit varieties. Fruit contains 18 amino acids, 8 of which are essential for human body. Secondly, figs have extremely high medicinal value. Its fruit contains a lot of pectin and vitamins, which can absorb a variety of chemicals after water absorption and expansion. Therefore, after eating fig, all kinds of harmful substances in the intestine can be absorbed and excreted, which has the functions of purifying the intestine, promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, inhibiting the increase of blood sugar, maintaining normal cholesterol content and quickly discharging toxic substances. Fig is rich in protein-decomposing enzymes, lipases, amylases and oxidases, which can promote the decomposition of protein. Therefore, when people eat more meat rich in protein, fruits cooked with figs have a good effect on digestion. The fruit, leaves, branches and even the whole grass of fig can be used as medicine. In addition to appetizing and helping digestion, fruit can also stop diarrhea and cure sore throat. Putting dried fig leaves in the bathtub has the functions of warming the body, preventing and treating neuralgia, hemorrhoids, swelling and pain, and beautifying the skin. Therefore, the packaging of fig products in Japan is printed with the propaganda words of "healthy food" and "beauty". The most important medicinal function of Ficus carica is its remarkable inhibitory effect on cancer, and its anticancer effect is also recognized by all countries in the world, and it is known as "the patron saint of human health in 2 1 century". Ficus carica contains a variety of anticancer substances and is an important raw material for the study of anticancer drugs. Japanese scientists have extracted benzodiazepines, bergamot lactone, osteoprotegerin and other anticancer substances from flower-free juice, which have obvious inhibitory effects on cancer cells, especially on gastric cancer. Experts in the former Soviet Union experimented with mice, and the cancer inhibition rate was 43% ~ 64%. According to the experiments of Nanjing Agricultural University and Jiangsu Institute of Cancer Prevention, the inhibition rates of Ficus carica on EAC, S 180, Lewis and HAC were 53.8%, 4 1.82%, 48.85% and 44.4% respectively. After taking Ficus carica extract, patients with gastric cancer have obviously improved their condition, and the analgesic effect is also very obvious, which is expected to become the first health care fruit in China and even the world. In addition to fresh food and medicinal use, figs can also be processed and dried to make preserved fruit, jam, fruit juice, fruit tea, fruit wine, beverage, canned food and so on. Dried figs, without any chemical additives, have a rich and sweet taste and are very popular in domestic and foreign markets. Flowerless fruit juices and drinks have unique fragrance and are suitable for all ages. Ficus carica is a good ornamental tree species in gardens and courtyard greening because of its lush foliage and elegant state. Planted and produced that year, it is one of the best potted fruit trees. If we vigorously develop fig bonsai, the effect will be very obvious, and it is one of the potted fruit trees with the highest profit rate at present.
