Mushrooms are nutritious and delicious. Since ancient times, they have been listed as top delicacies. They are healthy foods with high protein and low fat, and are rich in essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins and polysaccharides. Moreover, regular consumption of mushrooms can promote the absorption of nutrients from other foods. Mushrooms are rich in 18 amino acids, and the amino acid composition ratio of protein in some mushrooms is better than that of beef. Studies have found that the nutritional value of mushrooms is second only to milk. It is generally believed that meat and beans contain higher animal protein and plant protein respectively. In fact, the content of protein in mushrooms is also very high. Mushrooms contain many vitamins. Many mushrooms contain carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body, so mushrooms are also called "vitamin A treasure house". However, Margo Klauz, consultant of American Edible Fungi Association, said that in addition to the above-mentioned benefits we are familiar with, mushrooms have the following five "secret weapons". 1 .20 calories: A handful of mushrooms contains the essence of nature and is very healthy food. The nutrition in mushrooms contributes to heart health and immunity. Mushrooms only have about 20 calories per meal, which is much less than eating rice cakes and the like. 2. Taste: Mushrooms have a sixth taste besides sweet, sour, spicy and salty-umami. When mixed with other foods, they taste excellent and are a good "delicious supplement". 3. Vitamin D: Other fresh vegetables and fruits do not contain vitamin D, except mushrooms. Moreover, vitamin D content is very rich, which is beneficial to bone health. 4. Antioxidants: The antioxidant capacity of mushrooms can be comparable to that of some brightly colored vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, broccoli and red peppers. 5. Substituting staple food: The data shows that if people use100g mushrooms to substitute staple food such as fried rice for one year, they can consume less calories of18,000 calories, which is equivalent to two kilograms of fat, even if the diet structure remains unchanged. You know, it is not difficult to lose two kilograms, but to lose two kilograms of fat, you may need to practice hard in the gym for several months.
