The first spring morel mushrooms are not to everyone's taste. But not at all because they are tasteless. Rather, they are repelled by a gnarled cap, in which debris and small insects accumulate. However, if you know how much benefit this outwardly unsightly mushroom is fraught with, then the attitude towards it will certainly change.
Morels are useful in the same way as many mushrooms, because they contain a lot of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, ash, vitamins A, C, B. But the most valuable quality of these mushrooms is explained by the presence of the FD4 polysaccharide. Most of this substance is in conical morels (there are varieties: conical, ordinary, cap).
Polysaccharide FD4 has a beneficial effect on the activity of the eye muscle and the state of the lens. During the period of active growth of morels, you can make a tincture of alcohol or water infusion from them. Equally positively, this remedy affects the regulation of vision, regardless of whether it is myopia or hyperopia.
Currently, you can buy morel-based dietary supplements at the pharmacy. But for those who live in a forest area, it is quite possible to stock up on morels for the whole year. The disdainful attitude towards morels of some mushroom pickers is completely in vain. This unique ancient mushroom has always been prized for decades in Europe.
In Russia, experts have attributed morel to the third category of mushrooms according to taste. However, the taste largely depends on the ability to cook it properly. But the aforementioned polysaccharide and preparations based on it are able to miraculously restore vision. Eating morels regularly is much healthier than the famous blueberries.
