Jingning Dried Melon Seeds

　　Dried melon seeds, originally known as Trichosanthes seeds, are produced by a perennial herbaceous vine belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family in botanical classification. They are called "hanging melons" due to their resemblance to small watermelons and the way the fruits hang downward from the vines. Rich in nutrients, they are a popular green, natural snack. The seeds are crisp, plump, and richly aromatic, making them a top-tier snack seed and a high-quality green product.

　　Hanging melons and Trichosanthes seeds have stomach-soothing, lung-moistening, phlegm-resolving, mass-dissipating, and bowel-smoothing effects. They are used to treat symptoms such as phlegm-heat cough, lung phlegm with hemoptysis, chest tightness, diarrhea, and constipation.

　　Research shows that Trichosanthes seeds are both edible and medicinal, rich in various amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and essential nutrients for the human body such as calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium.

　　Roasted Trichosanthes seeds are large, meaty, and crunchy with an intense fragrance. Regular consumption may help protect the respiratory system, maintain cardiovascular health, inhibit cancer cells, treat diabetes, and enhance the body’s immune function.
