Features of waves and how they are useful
Many believe that Volzhanka have a unique composition. They contain a lot of vitamin A, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive system. Mushrooms also contain vitamin C, which has a positive effect on testosterone production and hair growth. The calorie content of volnushki is small and equal to 20 kilocalories. It is because of this that some nutritionists advise adding dishes made from such mushrooms to your diet.
The main advantage of Volzhanka is that they contain many useful amino acids. Thanks to this, mushroom dishes are digested much faster than foods that contain protein. However, such mushrooms can not only benefit the body, but also harm it.
Therefore, some doctors do not advise eating a lot of mushroom snacks for people who suffer from the following pathologies:
- slow production of gastric juice;
- cholecystitis;
- aggravated form of pancreatitis.
Also, people who have problems with the functioning of the digestive system will have to avoid pickled volushki. Mycologists from European countries do not advise anyone to eat such mushrooms, since, in their opinion, they are poisonous. Western experts claim that mushrooms contain toxic components that cause digestive problems. However, domestic and Finnish mushroom pickers deny the toxicity of mushrooms and consider them absolutely safe for humans.
How to clean and prepare volnushki
Volnushki, like other varieties of mushrooms, quickly deteriorate. Therefore, they are cleaned immediately after collection. First, each mushroom is carefully cleaned of grass, soil and other debris that could stick to them.Washed Volzhanka should not be left in a cramped container, as it will begin to darken and deteriorate. After washing, it is recommended to lay them out on a flat surface and sort them. Mushrooms with a pink surface are sorted from white ones, as they are cooked separately.
Mushrooms with white heads do not pickle well, and therefore they are used only for pickling. Only pink Volzhanka are selected for pickling.
Also during sorting, attention is paid to the general condition of each mushroom. Spoiled, wormy and rotten specimens are disposed of immediately, as they cannot be eaten.
Having finished sorting, they begin to clean the products. To do this, carefully remove the thin film from the head. Then cut off the bottom half of the mushroom stem, as it is rough and tasteless. The cut leg begins to release an unpleasant-tasting juice, from which the mushrooms must be cleaned. To do this, they are placed in a shallow container and filled with clean water. They are then washed and re-soaked in water for about 20-30 minutes.
How to pickle mushrooms
