The practice and efficacy of stir-fried winter melon seeds

When I eat winter melon at home, I always take out the pulp and the seeds and throw them away. At this time, my mother will silently collect the winter melon seeds, wash them with clean water and dry them, then fry them and give them to us as snacks. She also told us that eating more winter melon seeds is good for the body and can also beautify the skin. Later, after learning more about it, I found that my mother's words made sense. Today, I will write down the method of frying winter melon seeds and its specific effects to share with you, and I hope you can fall in love with winter melon seeds.

Steps

The method of stir-frying winter melon seeds is very simple. After taking out the winter melon seeds from the melon pulp, wash them several times with clean water to wash off the mucus on the surface, and then put them in the sun to dry. When you want to eat them, you can directly put them in the pot and stir-fry them slowly. When frying, you must use medium or low heat to fry until the surface turns slightly yellow. You can turn off the heat. At this time, the seeds inside are cooked and can be eaten. In addition, you can also stir-fry or soak them in salt water in advance, so that they will have a better taste after being fried.

When frying winter melon seeds, people usually use the kernels. The kernels contain a lot of natural oil, which can lubricate the intestines after entering the human body, speed up the metabolism of waste and toxins in the intestines, relieve constipation, and detoxify and lose weight.

2. Moisturize the lungs and relieve cough

Fried wax gourd seeds also have certain medicinal value. They also have a variety of natural anti-inflammatory and bactericidal ingredients, which can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, and can also eliminate lung inflammation. They have a certain effect on relieving common respiratory diseases such as lung heat cough, tracheitis, and lung abscess. When people have a cough, they can take out the fried wax gourd seeds, grind them into fine powder, and take them directly with boiled water.

3. Soften blood vessels

The oil contained in fried winter melon seeds contains a large amount of fatty acids, among which the content of unsaturated fatty acids is particularly high. These substances can protect blood vessels, accelerate the metabolism of fatty acids in the blood, prevent blood vessel rigidification, and have a certain preventive effect on arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
