In risotto or ragout – with pasta or potatoes: mushrooms always taste wonderful! Especially in autumn, the aromatic forest dwellers are often processed and served in creative recipes. However, you should make sure to chew the mushrooms thoroughly, as they are difficult to digest.
Bite properly!
Mushrooms contain chitin: a carbohydrate that belongs to the polysaccharides (complete sugars). This and other unusable carbohydrates make the mushrooms difficult to digest. Those who eat the aromatic forest dwellers should do so slowly and, above all, chew them thoroughly.
It is also advisable to eat mushrooms in small portions and to cook them well. Mushroom dishes are also easier to digest if they are prepared with spices such as caraway or vegetables such as fennel. These are digestive and also prevent a feeling of fullness.
Mushrooms are so healthy
They may be small with a hat, but they are full of valuable ingredients! Mushrooms are rich in essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, contain hardly any fat, and are made up of three-quarters of water – so they are the perfect companion for every meal because they keep you full for a long time and do not add too much to the calorie account.
The small forest dwellers also contain calcium, magnesium, and other minerals and trace elements. Mushrooms also score points for their proportion of vitamins from the B group and vitamin D – the body cannot produce the latter itself.
