Champignons They belong to mushrooms that, compared to forest delicacies such as boletes or bay boletes, are definitely underestimated. While seemingly ordinary mushrooms that you can buy in any store can be a valuable addition to your daily menu. It turns out that Mushrooms contain protein, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and selenium. They support the digestive, nervous and circulatory systems, and are also low-calorie, so you can eat them without any major restrictions. These mushrooms are not only healthy, but also taste great. Check, how to make mushrooms in clarified butter.
Why is it worth frying in clarified butter? First of all, this product has high smoke point, approx. 250 degrees Celsiuswhich reduces the risk of the food burning. Additionally, it prevents the formation of compounds harmful to health, including cholesterol oxides and lipid peroxides. Clarified butter is made by gradually heating the butter, which allows it to remove water and ingredients such as milk proteins in the form of casein and milk sugar, i.e. lactose. When butter is heated, the foam is removed so that only the fat remains. It is also worth adding that clarified butter can be stored in the refrigerator much longer than classic butter.
Clarified butter in traditional Indian medicine, i.e. Ayurveda, it is considered a medicinal product. It contains a lot of vitamins and minerals, such as: vitamins B, D, E, K, as well as potassium, zinc, phosphorus and copper. It also contains short- and medium-chain fatty acids and CLA acid, which are believed to have a metabolism-boosting effect. Clarified butter also has a beneficial effect on digestion, immunity and skin condition. Of course, although it has some beneficial effects for the body, you should not overdo it and use it in reasonable amounts. Among other things, because it is high in calories, 100 g contains approximately 900 kcal. Large amounts of clarified butter in the diet may contribute to increased cholesterol levels. It should also be noted that frying is not the healthiest method of food processing. Therefore, it is better to use it occasionally, focusing primarily on cooked or baked dishes.
