We grow a pumpkin for sunflower seeds. They are very useful. A week ago, my husband cut the pumpkin seeds extracted and carried the rest of the neighbor. She was glad that she got unrefined pumpkin. He says that the skin is more useful than the actual pumpkin.

Some years we did the pumpkin flour purified pumpkin. they knew that throw! Rumors about the benefits of pumpkin peel go, but somehow did not reach otherwise. In the last year we have made a meal of pumpkin peel. We put in a jar and forget about it.

Pumpkin she was 30 kilograms. Where are we it so much Delhi? The son of a German shepherd dog loves the pumpkin more than meat. Here she got the most. Drier the pumpkin, just do not eat one 30 kg, even Shepherd.

Now we decided to engage seriously in the peel. Another pumpkin thoroughly washed, cleaned and the skin drier. Just in the air.

Milled and obtained a powder.

Add it slowly to the pancakes, cheese cakes, cereals, bread dough, soups and sauces. Many can not be added, it is necessary, as if we were salted dish.

About pumpkin peel researchers report

The studies were conducted on the basis of the Institute c / s, the Ussuriisk (Primorye). Pumpkin there grow different varieties. Chemical peels very different on grades. Peel was hard in some varieties, and mild in others. Peel thickness of 1.5 to 2 mm.

Confirmed pattern common to all vegetable crops:

The peel is less sugar but more mineral and pectin and fiber.

Significantly varieties differ in the content of b-carotene. It can be found in the skin as much as in the flesh, but in the four grades in the skin proved many times more b-carotene.

Vitamin C content in the pulp of different grades of 4.1 - 13.3 mg / 100 g, respectively and the peel from 6.8 - 12.4 mg / 100 g

Pectin in the pulp and peel of about the same amount, the grade does not depend significantly.

Of the minerals (ash peel investigated various sorts) over all calcium and magnesium salts. There are zinc salts, much more than in the flesh. The concentration depends on the degree of drying.

This is all concerned one particular study, or more precisely what came to the general reader. There are other sources that speak about the unique composition of pumpkin peel.

I will not. And you? Explain your position.

• I'd rather eat more pumpkin. It is less of the same substances that in their skins, but they are there!
• We do not panic about the health, dietary supplements do not buy in pharmacies.
• The milling process seems problematic to me, a good grinder we have. And if it was, I would have feared that break.
