Welcome to the world of mushrooms: a delicious and healthy meal!
Mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere! Mushrooms have been used as food and medicine for thousands of years. Many people enjoy eating different types of mushrooms, both raw and cooked. Most are grown in Chester County, PA, in the town of Kennett Square and surrounding areas, also known as the “Mushroom Capital of the World.” With many health benefits and a variety of cooking options, it's easy to see why so many chefs like to incorporate them into their delicious dishes.
Mushrooms contain between 80 and 90 percent water, are low in sodium, fat and calories, extremely nutrient-rich and are ideal for weight-conscious people. In addition, they contain no gluten, fat or cholesterol. They are full of potassium, which helps reduce blood pressure and the occurrence of strokes. In fact, a medium-sized portabella mushroom contains more potassium than a normal-sized banana. They are also full of vitamin B (good for the nervous and digestive systems), iron (good for anemia and red blood cells), copper (helps form red blood cells), and selenium (good for prostate function and helps reduce prostate cancer).
Mushrooms are the only cultivated foods that contain natural vitamin D, which helps strengthen bones. In combination with calcium, which is also found in mushrooms, they can help with joint pain and osteoporosis. They also contain beta-glucans, which stimulate the immune system and increase allergy resistance. They are found in many shiitake and oyster mushrooms. Mushrooms are also known to contain ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system. Ergothioneine is an amino acid that contains sulfur, which many people lack in their diet. Diabetics have shown improvement when consuming various types of mushrooms due to the natural insulin and enzymes it contains. Many types of mushrooms also help diabetics with infections in their limbs because they are a natural antibiotic.
Below is a summary of some of the most common mushrooms:
- Weiße Knöpfe: Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass Pilze, die in den USA am häufigsten vorkommen, bei Brust- und Prostatakrebs helfen und dabei ungefähr 3,5 Unzen pro Tag verbrauchen. Gut zur Gewichtsreduktion.
- Crimini (Vorläufer von Portabella): Diese braunen Pilze haben eine ähnliche Größe wie weiße Knöpfe, sind fester und besitzen einen erdigeren Geschmack. Sie helfen auch bei Brust- und Prostatakrebs. Ideal zur Gewichtsreduktion.
- Portabella: Diese großen, braunen, regenschirmförmigen Pilze (die Erwachsenenversion von Crimini-Pilzen) haben einen fleischigeren Geschmack. Ideal zum Grillen und Füllen mit Artischocken, Spinat, Krabbenfleisch und einem „italienischen“ Rezept aus Hackfleisch, Tomatensauce, Zwiebeln, Paprika und Kräutern. Hilft auch beim Abnehmen.
- Shiitake: Wurden von vielen asiatischen Kulturen zur Behandlung von Erkältungen und Grippe verwendet.
