The efficacy and nutritional value of black fungus

I bought some black fungus at the market today, and planned to stir-fry it with meat in the evening. So today I will tell you about the effects and nutritional value of black fungus:

Introduction to Black Fungus

Black fungus, also known as wood moth, tree chicken, cloud ear, ear, etc., is an edible fungus that grows on rotten wood. It is named because of its light brown color and shape like human ears.

Black fungus has high nutritional value. According to the measurement, every 100 grams of black fungus contains 10.6 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, 65.5 grams of carbohydrates, 7.0 grams of crude fiber, 357 milligrams of calcium, 201 milligrams of phosphorus, and 185 milligrams of iron. It also contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, carotene, niacin and other vitamins and inorganic salts, phospholipids, plant sterols, etc. It is particularly worth mentioning that the iron content of black fungus is very high, which is 20 times higher than that of celery, which has a high iron content among vegetables, and about 7 times higher than that of pork liver, which has a high iron content among animal foods. It is the highest iron content among all foods. It is a very good natural blood tonic food.

Black fungus is also a kind of weight loss food, because it contains rich cellulose and a special plant colloid. These two substances can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the excretion of intestinal fat food, reduce the absorption of food fat, and thus prevent obesity and lose weight. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that regular consumption of black fungus can "replenish qi and prevent hunger, lighten the body and strengthen the will". Scientific experiments in recent years have also found that black fungus can prevent the deposition and coagulation of cholesterol in the blood, so it is quite beneficial for patients with coronary heart disease and brain and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the colloid contained in black fungus has a strong adsorption capacity and can play a role in cleaning the digestive tract, so it can also be used as a daily health food for workers in mining, metallurgy, wool spinning, and barbering.

The efficacy and function of black fungus

Black fungus benefits:

Black fungus nourishes the lungs and brain, promotes blood circulation and stops bleeding

The role of black fungus:

Black fungus has the functions of invigorating qi and strengthening the body, nourishing the kidney and stomach, and promoting blood circulation. It can resist blood coagulation, thrombosis, and lower blood lipids. The effect of black fungus is to reduce blood viscosity, soften blood vessels, make blood flow smoothly, and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Black fungus also has a strong adsorption effect. Regular consumption is conducive to the timely excretion of waste produced in the body. Black fungus also has a good dissolving function for gallstones and kidney stones. The effect of black fungus is because the alkaloids it contains have the characteristics of promoting the secretion of various glands in the digestive tract and urinary tract. The alkaloids can cooperate with these secretions to catalyze stones and lubricate the intestines.

Black fungus not only has nutritional effects, medical research has shown that it also has the functions of invigorating qi and strengthening the body, nourishing the kidneys and stomach, and activating blood circulation. It can resist blood coagulation, resist thrombosis, lower blood lipids, reduce blood viscosity, soften blood vessels, make blood flow smoothly, and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease.

Black fungus is rich in plant collagen, which has a strong adsorption effect. It also has a dissolving and oxidizing effect on indigestible foreign matter such as hair, husks, wood residue, sand, metal scraps, etc. that are accidentally eaten. Eating black fungus regularly can clean the digestive tract, stomach and intestines. This is especially true for workers engaged in ore mining, metallurgy, cement manufacturing, hairdressing, flour processing, cotton spinning and wool spinning, etc., who are in jobs with serious air pollution. Regular consumption of black fungus can play a good health-care role. Black fungus also has a good dissolving function for gallstones and kidney stones, because the alkaloids it contains have the characteristics of promoting the secretion of various glands in the digestive tract and urinary tract. The alkaloids can cooperate with these secretions to catalyze the stones, lubricate the intestines, and expel the stones from the body.

Black fungus also contains plant colloids that are beneficial to the human body and a substance called "polysaccharide", which is a natural tonic. It works together with the rich cellulose in black fungus to promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation, and is conducive to the timely removal and excretion of toxic and harmful substances in the stool in the body, thereby preventing rectal cancer and other cancers. It can also promote the excretion of intestinal fat foods and reduce the absorption of fat in food, thereby preventing obesity and losing weight. After using this polysaccharide, cancer patients have a significant increase in the composition of globulin in their bodies, thereby enhancing antibodies.

Black fungus contains an ingredient that inhibits platelet aggregation. Its anti-platelet aggregation effect is equivalent to that of a small dose of aspirin, which can reduce blood viscosity and make blood flow smooth. The research results of Beijing Heart and Lung Center have confirmed that consuming 10 to 15 grams of black fungus per day has obvious anti-platelet aggregation, anti-coagulation and cholesterol-lowering effects. For middle-aged and elderly people with high blood viscosity and high blood cholesterol, eating black fungus regularly can prevent cerebral thrombosis and myocardial infarction, and is beneficial for preventing and treating hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

Studies have also found that lipid peroxidation is closely related to aging, and black fungus has the effect of resisting lipid peroxidation, which can prolong people's life. Therefore, using black fungus to cook dishes not only makes the dishes diverse, tender, smooth and appetizing, but also is beneficial to human health and is an ideal health food. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people often eat black fungus, or use it to cook porridge, which has a good effect on preventing and treating various elderly diseases, fighting cancer, preventing cancer, and delaying aging.

Nutritional value of black fungus:

Nutritionists have praised black fungus as "the meat among vegetables" and "the king of vegetables". Every 100 grams of black fungus contains 185 mg of iron, which is 20 times higher than spinach, the green leafy vegetable with the highest iron content, and about 7 times higher than pork liver, the animal food with the highest iron content. It has the highest iron content among all kinds of meat and vegetable foods. Black fungus is a delicious and nutritious edible fungus, rich in protein, iron, calcium, vitamins, and crude fiber. The protein content is equivalent to that of meat, the iron content is 10 times higher than that of meat, the calcium content is 20 times that of meat, and the vitamin B2 content is more than 10 times that of vegetables. Black fungus also contains a variety of beneficial amino acids and trace elements, and is called "the meat among vegetables". The nutritional components of 100 grams of black fungus are: 10.9 grams of water, 10.6 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, 65.5 grams of carbohydrates, and 10.6 grams of calories.
