Surely many have heard about the benefits of the oyster mushroom, which successfully wins its fans among consumers.
But many cannot say specifically what is so special about this mushroom.
In fact, this is a unique mushroom. Its biggest benefit is that it contains mannitol, a glucose substitute. Therefore, even diabetic patients can safely include oyster mushroom in their diet.
The low calorie content of the mushroom is also of great importance. In the West, where the culture of consumption of oyster mushrooms is higher than in our country, specially developed oyster mushroom-based diets exist and are successfully used to reduce and maintain optimal weight.
In addition, oyster mushrooms are rich in zinc, potassium, vitamins B and D, which together have a beneficial effect on the immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems. And by the amount of phosphorus, oyster mushroom is not inferior to fish.
The work of the thymus gland is directly related to the consumption of oyster mushrooms - an organ whose decline in productivity is an indicator of the aging of the body. By including oyster mushroom in your diet, you use the opportunity to delay and slow down the aging process in your body.
In addition, oyster mushrooms contain a large amount of fiber, which improves the activity of the gastrointestinal tract and has a beneficial effect on its microflora.
The taste of oyster mushrooms is not inferior to forest lamellar mushrooms, and significantly surpasses champignons in terms of the expression of mushroom taste and aroma.
