Boletus mushrooms: benefits and harm to the human body

Name:Butter
Type: Edible

The common oiler grows only in symbiosis with pine, therefore it is common in coniferous or mixed forests. Mycorrhiza with the root system of the coniferous tree played an important role in the composition of the fungus. Oil can is considered one of the complex chemical substances. The benefits and harms of butter oil cannot be assessed unambiguously. The main part of the microelements of the fruiting body is valuable for humans, but there are a number of contraindications.

Nutritional value and chemical composition

The nutritional value and beneficial properties of boletus mushrooms are determined by the amount of amino acids, vitamins, protein, a set of microelements and the degree of digestibility by the body. The amino acid complex is close to protein of organic origin. The nutritional value of mushrooms in terms of amino acids is not inferior to meat. The digestibility of protein in boletus with normal function of the digestive system is within 80%, which is a high figure. Leucine, arginine, and tyrosine are completely absorbed and do not require a complex process of breakdown by gastric juice.The benefit of butter for the human body also lies in the fact that the protein composition is much higher than the content of the substance in any of the vegetable crops.

The fruit body contains vitamins B, PP and C, microelements: zinc, iron, copper. These substances are involved in all body processes. The vitamin concentration of group B is equal to that of grains and butter. The amount of vitamin PP in butter beans is higher than in liver or yeast.

The carbohydrate composition of mushrooms is unique in its own way; carbohydrates are inferior in concentration to nitrogenous substances, which is not typical for the plant world, where the opposite proportion is observed. The benefit of boletus mushrooms for humans lies in the set of mycosis sugars, mycodextrin, which are rare in nature. Lactose, which is present in the chemical composition of butter, is present in nature only in products of animal origin - meat, milk.

The composition of fiber differs from that of plants; the latter are based on cellulose. Mushrooms are the only representatives of the flora whose fiber contains a high concentration of chitin. The substance in nature is part of the shell and wings of insects and crustaceans. At one time, it was believed that the harm from chitin in the composition of the buttercup exceeded the benefits of consuming the product. At the end of the 20th century, laboratory studies proved that chitin plays an important role in the growth of bifidobacteria.

Important! The chemical composition of young mushrooms is higher than that of overripe ones.

The nutritional value of butter is significantly improved by the presence of styrene in its composition. Substances take part in the functioning of the endocrine system and block cholesterol.

The chemical composition of boletus mushrooms occupies 10% of the fruiting body, the remaining 90% is water. Contains the following substances.

Calorie content is oily

The calorie content of fresh mushrooms is low: no more than 19 Kcal per 100 g of weight. Of them:

  • water – 90%;
  • dietary fiber – 2%;
  • carbohydrates – 1.5%;
  • proteins – 4%;
  • fats – 1%;
  • minerals – 1.5%.

Thanks to their energy and nutritional composition, boletus mushrooms are beneficial even for children. After heat treatment, the indicator increases slightly due to partial loss of water. Dried mushrooms are not inferior in caloric content to meat; after the moisture evaporates, only the chemical composition remains. Per 100 g of product weight there is much more, and the concentration of fats, proteins and carbohydrates is several times higher.

Important! Dried butter broth significantly exceeds the calorie content of fish or meat.

What are the benefits of boletus for humans?

Due to their low calorie content and chemical composition, boletus mushrooms are useful for people at any age:

  1. Eating mushrooms gives you a feeling of satiety and a minimal amount of calories. It is recommended to include in the diet of overweight people.
  2. They provide the body with a sufficient amount of protein; this quality of mushrooms is a priority for vegetarians.
  3. Immunostimulants in the chemical composition improve the body's resistance to infections.
  4. Stops the growth of pathogens.
  5. Lipids improve liver condition.
  6. Styrenes promote the production of hormones.Improves fertility, prevents erectile dysfunction, and reduces blood sugar levels.
  7. Indicated for people with cardiovascular pathologies. Substances contained in mushrooms normalize cholesterol levels, thereby inhibiting the development of thrombosis and atherosclerosis.
  8. From symbiosis with the boletus pine, its chemical composition resulted in a resinous compound that has the ability to remove uric acid from tissue. It is recommended to eat mushrooms for people with gout or migraines.
  9. Iron increases hemoglobin levels and is involved in hematopoiesis.
  10. Thanks to iodine, they have an antiseptic effect and promote rapid tissue regeneration.
  11. Amino acids and vitamins stimulate the functioning of the brain and nervous system, relieve fatigue, depression, and insomnia.
  12. Chitin promotes the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestines and stimulates the functioning of the adrenal glands.
Important! Butter contains beta-gluconates - this substance inhibits the growth of cancer cells.

Why is film useful for butterfish?

The mushroom is covered with a protective shell that completely covers the cap and the upper part of the fruit stem. The slippery film with a sticky surface is often covered with fragments of dry leaves and insects. When recycling, many people remove it. Although the dirt is washed off well from the protective layer. The film does not contain water, the concentration of nutrients in it is high.

The benefits of oil film are undeniable, but it is also harmful to the body. If the mushroom has grown in places with poor ecology, the content of carcinogens and radioactive nuclides in the film will also be greater than in the fruiting body. This is the only factor that is not in favor of the protective layer.The film is used in folk medicine to prepare a tincture, which is used to treat psoriasis, gout, and is used as an antibacterial agent. High concentrations of zinc increase male fertility.

The use of medicinal properties of boletus in medicine

The beneficial properties of boletus mushrooms are recognized by official medicine. Take mushrooms in the form of alcohol tinctures and powder. Used as a local remedy, consumed orally. In traditional medicine, mushroom extracts are used to treat:

  • allergies;
  • psoriasis;
  • pathologies associated with vision;
  • diabetes;
  • osteoporosis;
  • migraine;
  • gout;
  • diseases of the heart and blood vessels;
  • chronic fatigue syndrome;
  • pathology of the thyroid gland.

Due to their antibacterial and regenerating properties, mushrooms are recommended in the postoperative period, during fractures and other injuries. Aqueous extracts based on fruiting bodies are in no way inferior to Streptocide; this property has found application in folk medicine. Healers offer many recipes for the treatment of headaches, impotence and joint pathologies.

Contraindications and possible harm oily

Oilseeds tend to absorb and accumulate heavy metals: lead, cesium, and radioactive nuclides. Completely normal-looking mushrooms can cause serious intoxication. You cannot collect in an industrial zone near factories or on the sides of federal highways. Gas contamination makes mushrooms unsuitable for consumption.

Due to the content of chitin, the absorption of mushroom protein is worse than that of animal protein. No matter how beneficial properties boletus may have, there are also contraindications for consumption, even of mushrooms collected in an environmentally friendly area.Limit use to people suffering from:

  • allergies to mushrooms;
  • metabolic disorders;
  • with dysfunction of the digestive system, mushrooms can cause indigestion;
  • pickled boletus is not indicated for hypertensive patients;
  • with exacerbation of gastritis;
  • low or high acidity;
  • diseases of the pancreas.

It is not recommended to include boletus in the diet of pregnant women and children under 3 years of age.

Conclusion

The benefits and harms of boletus are assessed depending on the ecological zone in which the mushrooms are collected. The rich chemical composition is preserved during cooking and drying. The concentration of vitamins, microelements and amino acids in dried mushrooms is much higher. The beneficial properties of boletus have found application in traditional and folk medicine.
