Dietary dishes from mushrooms

There are some completely unclear rumors about mushrooms in the fitness community. They say that the body does not absorb protein from them, and for some reason they retain water, and they absorb all sorts of harmful substances from the environment. But they still taste delicious!

We don't like horror stories, and we think that mushrooms are not scary at all (unless you're allergic to them, of course). Those sold in supermarkets are grown in greenhouses and do not absorb anything inedible. Protein from cooked mushrooms is absorbed even better than, say, protein from cereals or legumes, and stories about fluid retention only apply to pickled mushrooms, which contain a lot of salt, and only if eaten in immoderate quantities.

Otherwise, mushrooms are good, from any side you approach them. Tasty and aromatic, they turn even the most boring soup or porridge into an appetizing dish. If you are very concerned about their benefits, here you go: mushrooms contain zinc, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, manganese, vitamins A, D, E, group B. Caloric content is only 20-40 kcal per 100 g. And how easy it is to cook them!
