What seeds are more useful

     Which of the seeds are better -  small black or white large seeds of pumpkin ? it requires detailed study from the point of view of   nutritionists.                                                                                   

 

      BLACK                                                                                                                           WHITE                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

     THE CALORICITY 100 G

      540 kcal                                                                                                                       580 kcal

     The pumpkin seeds have small advantage. By the way, forty calories ? it is not too small, as it seems. This quantity is equivalent to the glass of low-fat kefir! 

  

     CHOLESTEROL

                                                                                                      

      no                                                                                                                                       no

     The glass of seeds by the caloricity is equal to 250-gram of pork chop.  But there is no cholesterol completely in the seeds, and its quantity simply goes off scale in the pork! 

 

     POLYUNSATURATED FATS

 

      52,8%                                                                                                                               53%

      A practically identical quantity of polyunsaturated fats, which there are in all vegetable oils, is contained in the seeds. Consequently, an identical quantity of vitamin E is contained in them, which is considered as the main defender of organism from the aging. So, at this point - draw.  By the way, the polyunsaturated fats remain better in the unpurified seeds, since they are not oxidized in air. 

 

     PROTEIN

                                                                                                      

     34%                                                                                                                                  20%  

     Protein is uncommon in the seeds:  it contains sufficiently many irreplaceable amino acids, without which our organism cannot exist normally, but it does not know how to manufacture them by itself.  By the way, almost all vegetarian systems call seeds the main source of proteins. 

 

     CARBOHYDRATES

 

      4,5%                                                                                                                                   5%    

     Seeds contain entirely few carbohydrates, in comparison with the buns, pastry and sweetnesses.  And their quality - has nothing in common with refined sugar.

      2 hours                                                                                                                       2 hours

     Sufficiently prolonged period, in comparison, for example, with fruits (30 minutes). By the way, precisely, therefore specialists consider seeds are sufficiently heavy product and do not advise to mix up them with each other. Although in comparison with shish kebab, which " stews " in stomach about three hours and a half, this is not too much... 

 

     TRACE ELEMENTS:

 

     Magnesium


      534 mg                                                                                                                         580 mg  

     Do you think, the process itself of extraction of kernel from the shell calms nerves?  Not a bit!  Magnesium enters into the composition of almost all medicines " for the nerves ". To culinary yardsticks, black seeds - the treasure-house of magnesium. A quantity of this valuable microelement in seeds is six times more than in black bread. Draw conclusions! 

 

     Zinc

 

      7,44 mg                                                                                                                        5,28 mg  

     The nails flake without zinc and hair come out, the pancreas signals "SOS!",  immune system is out of order, and memory - becomes maidenly in literal and figurative sense of word. Only one glass of white seeds will ensure the daily dose of this rare element. 

 

     Iron

 

      14 mg                                                                                                                              3.65 mg  

     About the role of iron in the organism you already heard repeatedly. Well, we will not annoy  you.  By the way, do you know that anemia and chronic fatigue syndrome are connected with its deficiency?  White seeds are equal to the occasion according to this index again.
