1. Is pumpkin skin edible

The tender pumpkin skin can be eaten. Pumpkin skin has no irritating ingredients, and it is also rich in nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamins and trace elements such as iron, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and magnesium. After these nutrients are absorbed by the human body, they can effectively supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. Just wash thoroughly before eating, and it's best to soak it in salt water, or scrub the pumpkin skin with salt.

It should be noted that the skin of old pumpkin is not suitable for eating. Because the skin of the old pumpkin is very hard and difficult to chew. Moreover, the nutritional composition is also greatly reduced and has no edible value. The tender pumpkin skin is relatively thin, crisp and tender in taste, without loss of nutrients, and has higher nutritional value. Generally, after the pumpkin is mature, its peel will gradually become very hard, which can protect the internal pulp, prevent the loss of water, and appropriately prolong the eating time of the pumpkin.

2. How to eat

First, scrub the surface of the tender pumpkin with salt, and then rinse off the salt on the surface of the pumpkin with water. Then cut the pumpkin and dig out the pulp. Then cut the pumpkin into thin slices with a knife and put it aside for standby. Take a pot to heat, pour in an appropriate amount of oil, then add pumpkin skin to stir fry, then add an appropriate amount of water, cover the pot and stew for a period of time. Wait until the juice in the pot is absorbed, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, and sprinkle some scallions according to your personal taste before coming out of the pot.
