Useful properties of boletus

The boletus contains on average up to 90% water. Rest
10% are distributed like this: up to 4% are proteins,
up to 2% – fiber, up to 1,5% – carbohydrates, up to 1% – fat,
up to 1,5% – minerals.

Mushroom proteins are high in amino acids,
including irreplaceable and assimilated by the body
by 70-80%. The nutritional value of mushrooms like others
products, largely determines the overall content
amino acids. By the content of the latter, mushroom proteins are comparable
with animal proteins, which is why mushrooms are often compared
with meat. The most complete set of amino acids (up to 22) was found
in a porcini mushroom. The content of proteins and amino acids in mushrooms
varies greatly depending on the species, habitat,
age and method of procurement. For example, in the young
mushrooms have more proteins than old ones; more in hats,
than in the legs; dried mushrooms have more than pickled ones.

potassium,
vitamin A,
B, B1, C and
PP.

They are not inferior to grain products. Vitamin PP in them
as much as it is in yeast, liver,
and vitamin B is not less than in creamy
oil. In terms of protein content, they surpass any
vegetables. Protein substances in a kilogram of dried porcini mushrooms
twice as much as in a kilogram of beef,
and three times more than the same amount of fish. truth
mushroom proteins are absorbed slightly worse than animals
proteins.

If the mushrooms are well cooked – chopped, boiled
and fried, their digestibility increases. Mushrooms contain
valuable fatty substances that are almost completely absorbed
the human body. Dried porcini mushroom broth
several times more caloric than meat.
Dried mushrooms are superior in nutritional value even to meat
and sausage. In mushrooms, a person receives the basic necessary
trace elements to him.
