Ripe loquats are sweet and nutritious, with various fructose, glucose, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, and vitamins A, B, and C. The carotene content ranks third among all fruits. Chinese medicine believes that loquats have the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, and quenching thirst. Loquats should be peeled before eating. In addition to eating fresh, loquats can also be made into canned syrup or wine. Loquats contain amygdalin in leaves, fruits, and cores. Loquat leaves are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Large pieces of loquat leaves are dried and used as medicine. They have the functions of clearing lung and stomach heat, lowering qi and resolving phlegm. They are often made into "Sichuan loquat paste" with other medicinal materials. However, loquat, like other related plants, has slightly toxic seeds and new leaves. Eating them raw will release trace amounts of cyanide, but because they taste bitter, people generally do not eat enough to cause harm. |
