What effect does regular consumption of pine nuts and pine nut porridge have on blood vessels and inflammation?

Pine nuts are in season these days. The pine tree, a member of the pine family, is native to Korea. Pine nuts are a key ingredient in dishes like pine nut porridge, sujeonggwa, sikhye, and gangjeong. In the past, they were also consumed as a tonic by those with weak constitutions. However, domestically grown pine nuts are difficult to harvest, making them somewhat expensive. Let's take a closer look at the health benefits of pine nuts.

 

 

“ It's so hard to pick pine nuts "... The dangers of climbing tall pine trees

 

One reason pine nuts are so expensive is the difficulty of harvesting them. Pine nuts grow high on the branches, making them extremely difficult to reach. Pine trees typically grow to be 20-30 meters tall, but some can exceed 40 meters, making climbing them dangerous. Pine tree harvesting is entirely human-powered (according to the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences). Climbing trees tens of meters high is so dangerous that various methods have been devised, but none have proven particularly effective.

Unsaturated fatty acids that are good for blood vessels 30%... Helps lower cholesterol and prevent inflammation

 

According to the National Standard Food Composition Table, 100g of pine nuts contain 30.9g of unsaturated fatty acids, which are good for the blood and blood vessels. They help cleanse blood vessels of accumulated neutral fat and lower cholesterol levels. Consuming them in moderation can help prevent vascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia), atherosclerosis, heart disease (angina pectoris - myocardial infarction), and stroke (cerebral infarction - cerebral hemorrhage). A paper published in the Journal of the Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition stated that pine nut extract has a positive effect on preventing inflammation and boosting immunity due to its antioxidant effect, which slows down oxidation (aging - damage) in the body.

Pine nuts also contribute to maintaining memory and cognitive function. This is because they are rich in lecithin, which stimulates brain cell activation (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences data). They are also rich in iron, folic acid, and zinc, helping prevent anemia and reducing oxidation in the body. They are also rich in vitamin E and minerals, which aid in hair growth and prevent and improve hair loss. They also provide a feeling of fullness, which can help prevent obesity caused by overconsumption of other foods.

 

Be careful of overeating as it is high in calories. ... day 10~15 Dog size

 

Pine nuts are high in calories. Overeating them, even though they're supposedly good for your health, can cause diarrhea or weight gain. Eating 10 to 15 a day is recommended. Pine nuts are prone to rancidity, so careful storage is essential. For long-term storage, peeled pine nuts should be frozen. Domestically produced pine nuts are uniformly sized and light yellow in color. They have a strong aroma, a light surface, and often have damaged edges. Imported pine nuts are irregularly sized and dark yellow in color, have a weak aroma, and have a more oily surface.

 

When making pine nut porridge, it's best not to grind the pine nuts and rice together. The amylase in pine nuts breaks down the starch in the rice, preventing the porridge from clumping together and becoming sticky. Boiling the rice first and then adding the pine nuts can also have the same effect. To make sticky pine nut porridge, it's best to grind the pine nuts and rice separately. Boiling the pine nuts and water first to reduce the effectiveness of the enzymes in the pine nuts before adding the water used to grind the rice can result in a sticky porridge.
