One is the western traveler, which describes the "man ginseng" as a magical cactus that eats immortality. People in reality borrowed that name, a little mythical and precious。
The second is the idea that when human ginseng matures, there are purple stripes on the skin, and some of the fruit shapes are slightly human, and the merchants use the word gin to name it, adding a selling spot。
In short, the name is a marketing tool that has nothing to do with the efficacy and composition of ginning。
What about real nutrition
Although it has nothing to do with human participation, the nutritional component of human participation itself deserves to be taken seriously。
Based on the edible portion of 100 g:
The calorie is about 22 kilocalories, very low, one of the lowest-calorized fruits, a friendly choice for the diet population。
It's about 92% water. It's good. It's good。
Vitamin c is about 23 mg, medium, similar to lemon。
The selenium is the most frequently mentioned nutritional bright spot. Selenium is an essential trace element of the human body, is resistant to oxidation, is involved in thyroid hormone metabolism and supports the immune system. The selenium content of human ginseng is high in fruit。
Calcium, phosphorus, iron are in the middle of fruit, and aggregate minerals perform well。
Dietary fibres have moderate content and assist in intestinal health。
The selenium content is real, but don't exaggerate
It's true, but it needs to be seen rationally:
The recommended daily intake of selenium is about 60 ug, and although the content of selenium in humans is high in fruit, a considerable amount of selenium is required to be replenished by food。
More efficient herring supplements include: animal internals, seafood, nuts (especially brazilian nuts). If there is a real need for selenium, this food is more direct than human gin。
The selenium content of human cucumbers is subdivision, not a core selling point。
The reason why ginseng is really worth eating
In addition to the exaggerated propaganda, there are a number of real advantages:
The calorie is extremely low – about 22 kilocalories per 100 grams, almost one of the lowest in all fruits, and there is no need to worry about excess calorie during diet。
Splendid -- juicy, sweet, a little fragrance, very comfortable for snacks in the summer。
It's good to be saturated — it's good to be saturated with high moisture。
The combination of minerals — calcium, phosphorus, iron, selenium — is not bad。
Buyer rinds, how can they taste
People buy ginseng and buy it back in a light and boring manner, which is often rooted in unfamiliarity。
Look at the colours -- the colours of the fruit skin have changed from green to milk yellow, with visible purple stripes, indicating high maturity and better sweetness. The deeper the color, the more even it is。
Squeeze hard -- it's elastic, it's a little fall-back, it's a perfect maturity. Too hard, too soft。
Smell the fragrance – mature man ginseng can smell the dim guacamole near, and no fragrance is yet known。
What if you don't get it back – you put it with bananas and apples for one to two days, and you use ethylene gas to drive it up, and it's gonna go up。
Summary
There's nothing to do with ginseng. Ginseng is just a good trade name。
Its true nutritional neutrality — extremely low calorie, slightly higher selenium content and balance of minerals — is a low-calorie fruit suitable for daily consumption, which is not as amazing as the legend says, but is not exaggerated to nothing。
Buy it as a low-calorie fresh fruit, not as a healthcare product, and the expectations are put right, so there will be no disappointment。
