How to eat nectarines and taboos

I think everyone should be clear about how to eat nectarines. Let me give you a summary below.

How to eat nectarines and taboos

There are many ways to eat nectarines. They can be eaten fresh. Since they are not easy to preserve, they can also be processed into canned peaches, dried peaches, peach preserves, peach jam, fruit wine, juice, etc.

(1) Nectarines are delicious, but you should not eat too much

Li Shizhen Li Shizhen once said: "Eating too many raw peaches will make people bloated and develop boils, which is harmful rather than beneficial." The saying "peaches nourish people" means that peaches should be eaten in moderation, but fresh peaches should not be stored.

(2) Eating too many nectarines can easily cause internal heat

People with excessive internal heat and prone to sores and boils should not eat too much. However, eating preserved fruits does not have this disadvantage.

(3) Nectarines contain a lot of fatty oil

Although peach kernels have the effects of breaking blood and removing blood stasis, and lubricating the intestines and relieving constipation, they contain volatile oils and a large amount of fatty oils, which can have more laxative effects than tonifying effects. Therefore, do not eat too much peach kernels. Eating too much peach kernels can lead to poisoning, with early symptoms of nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, accelerated heartbeat, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest. Pregnant women should especially avoid eating peach kernels.

How to eat nectarines more nutritiously

Benefits of nectarines: Rich in vitamin C, nectarines are cultivated from peaches, sweeter than peaches, and more nutritious. The vitamin C contained in a fresh nectarine can almost meet the daily needs of an adult. Vitamin C not only helps the body absorb iron and maintain the immune system, but is also essential for the synthesis of collagen, an important component of the skin. Collagen can also promote wound scarring and is very important for wound healing. The skin of nectarines is smoother than that of peaches, without annoying fuzz. The flesh is harder, with colors of pink, yellow, and white, and has a stronger fragrance than peaches. Nectarines contain slightly more calories than peaches, an average of 36 calories.

Nectarine is rich in nutrition, containing 13% sugar, 1.5% organic acid, 1% pectin, 1.1% protein, and 12 grams of vitamin C, 40 grams of phosphorus, 12 grams of calcium, 0.8 grams of iron, and 14.5 grams of magnesium per 100 grams of pulp. In addition, it also contains 17 kinds of amino acids and carotene needed by the human body.

The main component of nectarine is sucrose, and the content of vitamins and minerals is relatively low, but it contains a lot of pectin, which is a fiber component and has the function of regulating the intestines. Peaches are used as Chinese medicine because the glycosides contained in the buds are effective for diuresis or constipation. The leaves of peaches are said to be used for bathing and can remove prickly heat.
