You may not be very familiar with gourd , let me introduce gourd to you! Introduction to GourdHugua (hù) is an annual vine herb of the genus Cucurbitaceae. The young fruit of hù is light in flavor and tender in quality, suitable for cooking. In some areas of Hebei, "hugua" refers specifically to zucchini, while "huzi" refers specifically to hùgua. In ancient China, its mature and dried fruit shells were used as containers and also for medicinal purposes. It has been recorded in the "Book of Songs". The remains of gourd fruits and peels were unearthed at the Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang and the Luojiajiao site in Tongxiang, indicating that the history of gourd cultivation in China can also be traced back to the Neolithic Age Gourd UsesThe water content of young gourd fruit is 95%, and every 100 grams of fresh weight contains about 10-15 mg of vitamin C, as well as a small amount of sugar, phosphorus, calcium, etc. It has a light taste and tender quality, suitable for cooking, but not for eating raw. Some varieties have a bitter taste due to the glycosides of cucurbitacin in the fruit flesh. In production, parents without bitterness are selected and pollination is controlled, so that the offspring of the seeds produced will not have bitter taste. Nutritional analysis of gourdGourd Gourd and gourd have certain effects on the growth and development of the body and the maintenance of the body's physiological functions, but compared with other vegetables, their nutritional value is lower. However, they both contain an inducer of stem cells, which can stimulate the body to produce stem cells, improve the body's immune ability, and play an anti-viral and anti-tumor role. Therefore, gourd, like gourd, is suitable for ordinary people to eat.Daily UseAs a daily utensil, the gourd has many uses. The gourd opening can be made into various shapes for use.
