Consumed by populations in South America, seeds have received little study regarding elemental composition and nutritional value. Thirty-five seed sites from subtropical Brazil were sampled and seed concentrations of C, N, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Mo, Ni, Co, Cr, Ba, and Cd were determined. The highest concentration of N was observed in samples from regions with Cfa climate (humid subtropical, oceanic climate, without dry season with hot summer) and igneous rock, which was superior to regions with Cfb climate (humid subtropical, oceanic climate, without dry season with temperate summer) and metamorphic rock. Seeds can be a source of nutrients: K (11.8 g kg), P (4.1 g kg), Mn (9.1 mg kg), Cu (7.2 mg kg), Mo (0.93 mg kg), and Cr (0.65 mg kg). Values for Ba (0.93 mg kg) and Cd (0.19 mg kg) indicated no risk to human health. This study expands knowledge regarding the elemental composition of . Results indicate that these seeds have nutritional value, and their consumption can be a good strategy to improve overall human nutrition in this region of South America.
南美洲人群食用的种子，在元素组成和营养价值方面的研究较少。对来自巴西亚热带的35个种子样本点进行了采样，并测定了种子中碳、氮、钾、钙、镁、磷、铁、锌、锰、铜、钼、镍、钴、铬、钡和镉的含量。在具有Cfa气候（湿润亚热带、海洋性气候，无干季且夏季炎热）和火成岩地区的样本中，氮的含量最高，高于具有Cfb气候（湿润亚热带、海洋性气候，无干季且夏季温和）和变质岩地区的样本。种子可以是营养物质的来源：钾（11.8克/千克）、磷（4.1克/千克）、锰（9.1毫克/千克）、铜（7.2毫克/千克）、钼（0.93毫克/千克）和铬（0.65毫克/千克）。钡（0.93毫克/千克）和镉（0.19毫克/千克）的值表明对人体健康没有风险。这项研究扩展了关于[此处原文似乎不完整，缺少具体所指内容]元素组成的知识。结果表明，这些种子具有营养价值，食用它们可能是改善南美洲该地区人类整体营养状况的一个良好策略。
