Siberian cedar pine nuts 200 g. (2x100g.)in retail pack and nut cracker
Siberian cedar pine nut does not contain cholesterol and has high protein content.
That is why pine nut use in food allows compensating “protein malnutrition” for those, who has switched to the vegetarian meal. Vegetable protein of pine nut is ideally balanced and close to the protein of human tissue and ingested on 99%.The other factor, defining the high nutrition value of the pine nut is the fact that the pine nut contains almost all essential amino acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid, vitamins: A, B, C, D, E, P as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphor and other mineral elements.
Siberian cedar (Pinus sibirica )—is coniferous, with evergreen large slender, light-demanding tree with the height of
One of the oldest trees in Pinaceae family (about 100 million years), reaches the age of 400 years,
although more common cedar forests are at the age of 200-250 years. In favorable conditions cedar lives up to 800 years;
Siberian cedar (Pinus sibirica)-growths in West, Middle and
But it meets only in some of its parts, in the places with increased air humidity. It forms the forests in the upper part of green belt in East Sayans,
Hamar-Daban, at Baikal and Maritime mountain ranges as well as wealds (Leno-Angarsk plate,
Slightly wider found here cedar as an impurity in dark coniferous taiga of mixed composition.
The content of vitamins in pine nuts and their importance to the human body as follows:- Vitamin A is a stimulator of growth, development and differentiation of tissues. Has specific effects on the functions of vision and of reproduction;- Vitamin B1 is the regulator of oxidation of metabolic products of hydrocarbons. Affect the function of cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, Central and peripheral nervous systems;- Vitamin B2 - necessary for the breakdown of proteins,
fats and carbohydrates to produce energy build and maintain body tissues. Improves eyesight, the nervous system, skin, liver. Affects the growth and development of the fetus in pregnant women. Promotes proper development of the child's body. Protects the retina from exposure to UV irradiation and participates in the synthesis of hemoglobin;- Vitamin B3 is necessary for fat synthesis, protein metabolism and conversion of food into energy.
Acts as a regulator of higher nervous activity, cardiovascular system, digestive system, cholesterol metabolism and blood formation;- Vitamin E influences the functions of sexual and other endocrine glands.
Stimulates the activity of the muscles. Promotes absorption of fats, vitamins A and C. Protects cell membranes from damage;- Vitamin D is the regulator of metabolism of calcium and phosphorus.
Provides suction of these substances in the intestine and their deposition in growing bones. Affect the strength of bones and teeth, on the permeability of cellular and subcellular membranes to calcium ions;- Vitamin PP participates in the processes of tissue respiration and improvement of carbohydrate metabolism.
Lowers cholesterol, normalizes secretory and motor functions of the gastrointestinal tract, has a vasodilator effect.-Boron – supports the nutrition of brain cells, promotes intellectual development, enhances physical strength;
- Vanadium - prevents the formation of cholesterol in the blood vessels, is involved in the metabolism of glucose and fats, in the development of bones and teeth;
iron essential component of hemoglobin, myoglobin and protein;- Iodine forms part of thyroid hormones necessary for proper metabolic processes;
- Potassium - regulates water balance in the body.
The value of potassium in the body is determined by its involvement in important physiological processes - muscle contraction, normal heart function, nerve impulses, metabolic reactions. Potassium salts cannot be replaced in humans by any other salts;- Calcium is the main structural component of bones and teeth, necessary for blood coagulation,
cell integrity and cardiac activity, for normal excitability of the nervous system;silicon promotes the formation and the elasticity of the connective tissues of the body;- Magnesium is required by the body for the formation of correct bone structure,
an important component of soft tissue. Affects the neuro-muscular system and the immune processes, is part of many enzymes. Is an important mineral for the heart, relaxes blood vessels, increases blood flow, stabilizes blood pressure;- Manganese is needed for the formation and maintain the structure of cartilage, hormones.
Helps the body to absorb glucose. Is part of many metalloenzymes, affects the action of hormones of the pituitary gland, of insulin. Promotes growth and cartilage regeneration. Strengthens the walls of arteries and makes it more resistant to the formation of sclerotic plaques;-Copper - participates in the activities of the brain, helps the formation of red blood cells.
Is a component of many enzymes and proteins involved in redox processes, blood formation, synthesis of connective tissue, in the transmission of nerve impulses, processes of cellular respiration. Copper stimulates the action of insulin, is involved in the synthesis of female sex hormones;- Molybdenum - AIDS in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, prevent anemia;
- Sodium - affects the activity of almost all body systems.
- Nickel – creates a balance of blood disorders, slows down the growth of the content of iron, copper and zinc in the liver;
phosphorus - participates in the formation and preservation of the teeth, nails, bones, and nervous tissue necessary for the activity of the muscles, nerve cells. Included in the compounds - nucleic acids and phospholipids. Occupies a Central place in the processes of metabolism, energy metabolism, functioning of the nervous system;- Zinc is part of enzymes that provides a course of redox processes and tissue respiration.
At the cellular level governs the transition from one phase of the cell cycle to another. Necessary to stabilize the structure of DNA. Is part of hormones of the thymus, the Central organ of the immune system and endocrine glands;
