鲜食糯玉米

   

 一、糯玉米的营养丰富，是老少皆宜的餐桌佳品。
    1、糯玉米与普通玉米相比，籽粒中的水溶蛋白和盐溶性蛋白的含量都较高，而醇溶蛋白比较低。氨基酸的含量一般要比普通玉米增加30%-60%，因而大大提高了食用和营养价值。
    2、糯玉米含有人体所必需的营养，氨基酸总量及赖氨酸含量和维生素C1、B1、B2非常丰富，含糖量达25%，是普通玉米10倍。特点是糯中带甜，甜中带香，果肉鲜嫩，加热后香气四溢，口感极佳。
    3、鲜玉米粒食用方法 选用优质鲜糯玉米鲜棒，脱下籽粒漂洗过筛，蒸煮冷冻而成。该产品可用于熬粥、做羹，亦可加入青椒，肉丝、虾仁等原料炒菜，清香可口，风味独特，是老少皆宜的时尚食品。 

   

 二、鲜食玉米的保健功效
    在乳熟期采收的鲜玉米棒，其营养成份及食用价值都优于成熟后玉米。营养学家称之为“绿色蔬菜”、“新型营养保健品”、“长寿食品”、“作物水果”等。 ?预防癌症病变。鲜食玉米含有丰富的微量元素镁，镁能抑制癌发展。
    ·防治肥胖症。增加膳食纤维食用量，可使胃产生饱满感，防止过量食物摄入，降低食物热量比值，减少贮藏脂肪堆积量。
    ·降血压、降血脂。鲜食玉米含钙量达100mg/g以上，比普通玉米干籽粒高2-3倍，钙有防止和降低高血压的作用。
    ·健脑提神。玉米有缓泻作用，代谢毒物力较强，尤其是使毒物在脑部停留时间缩短，减轻了毒物对脑细胞的损害，鲜玉米中谷氨酸含量达1.6%-1.7%，是大脑细胞在能量代谢中必不可少的养料。经常食用鲜玉米有利于大脑能量的产生，可健脑提神。 

    

三、鲜食玉米加工工艺及规格
    速冻糯玉米采用乳熟期优质鲜嫩玉米果穗，经过原料进厂验收--扒皮去须--切尖选等--清洗--蒸煮--冷却--速冻--包装--贮藏等工艺加工而成，在-18℃低温状态下保存，保持期为18个月，单棒规格分别为12-14cm、14-16cm、16-18cm、18-20cm。
