Nutritional value of oyster mushroom

Oyster mushroom is a very good vegetable, and it is my favorite. So today I will tell you about the nutritional value of oyster mushroom:

Nutritional value of oyster mushroom

Oyster mushrooms are rich in nutrients, containing 20 to 23 grams of protein per 100 grams of the product, and have a complete range of amino acids, rich mineral content, and a full range of amino acids.

1. The protein content of the fungus is as high as 19-26 grams. According to data reports, the protein content of dried oyster mushrooms is about 20%, which is 2.6 times that of eggs, 4 times that of pork, and 15 times that of spinach and rapeseed. The protein contains 18 kinds of amino acids, of which 8 kinds of essential amino acids account for 8.38%, accounting for more than 35% of the total amino acid content of 20.7%. The reason why edible fungi such as oyster mushrooms are delicious is that they contain many of the above amino acids, which can stimulate the human taste organs to produce a sense of umami, which is much better than the umami taste of glutamate contained in simple monosodium glutamate. You will not feel thirsty.

Moreover, the amount of amino acids contained is very rich. For example, the average values ​​of isoleucine, leucine and lysine contained in button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and straw mushrooms are 4.45%, 6.8% and 7.7% respectively, while the average values ​​of these three amino acids contained in beef, milk and soybeans are 4.1%, 0.10% and 3.29% respectively. In particular, lysine and leucine are mostly lacking in animals and plants, and leucine is almost non-existent. China's food structure is mainly based on grains, which is even more lacking. Lysine has a unique effect on promoting memory and enhancing intelligence, and is very important for the development and health of infants and the elderly. The appropriate amount of leucine increases. It is an important component that can promote the synthesis of advanced proteins in the human body. Therefore, the amino acids contained in general edible fungi can be compared with those in milk, lean meat and fish, and are even better than those in fish. For example, there is almost no vitamin C in fish;

2. Contains 3.84% fat;

3. Contains 65.61% of total carbohydrates, including 54.73% reducing sugars, 1.96% pentosans, 1.16% methyl pentose, 5.38% thalassemia, and 10.87% mannitol;

4. Contains 6.15% cellulose;

5. Ash content: 4.94%;

6. It is also rich in B vitamins, such as VB2 0.135% microgram, VC 9.3% microgram, VD 0.12% microgram (ergosterol);

7. It also contains 14 trace elements including potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc and sulfur;

8. Studies have shown that oyster mushrooms also contain physiologically active substances such as oyster mushroom protein (protein sugar) and acidic polysaccharides, which have a great effect on health, longevity, prevention and treatment of hepatitis (oyster mushrooms can be used to make liver-reducing tablets), and also have a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of cancer;

9. Contains Pleurotus ostreatus (Pleurotus ostreatus), which has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, Mycobacterium, etc.

Experiments have shown that Oyster Mushroom has the function of prolonging life for the human body, which is better than animal and plant foods. It is worthy of being a precious mountain delicacy that was originally a royal delicacy. Now it is commonly eaten by people, which not only satisfies the taste buds, but also promotes health and longevity.

Oyster mushroom is suitable for people:

It can be eaten by most people, and is especially suitable for the weak, menopausal women, people with hepatitis, digestive system diseases, rickets, cardiovascular diseases, urethral stones and cancer patients.
