Fried mushrooms are one of the most popular dishes in many cuisines of the world. This product can be successfully used both in the daily menu, and as an excellent addition to the festive table. When fried, champignons, mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, butter, mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, etc. are very tasty. They go perfectly with a variety of fried and stewed vegetables, with cracklings, omelettes and other ingredients. When eating all these goodies, the question naturally arises: what is the calorie content of fried mushrooms?
Useful properties of mushrooms
In nature, it is difficult to find a plant product that would be more balanced. Protein in mushrooms, of course, is less than in meat, but the set of amino acids in these products is almost identical. For example, about 200 g of mushrooms paired with another source of protein can provide the daily nutritional balance for an adult. But oyster mushrooms and champignons, for example, are recommended for obesity. It is interesting that on average only 25 kcal in raw mushrooms, but they are surprisingly satisfying and, having eaten even a small amount for lunch, sometimes I don’t want to have dinner. Another feature of mushrooms is their ability to reduce cravings for sweets, due to the large amount of zinc in their composition. A lack of zinc in the body provokes an increased craving for sweets and alcohol. This low-calorie dietary product contains a variety of vitamins (B, C, D, etc.), as well as useful substances such as phosphorus, iron, potassium, and many others. However, the caloric content of fried mushrooms is several times higher than that of raw mushrooms, and useful properties generally "disappear".
Fried Mushrooms: Disadvantages
Perhaps, in addition to unsurpassed taste, fried mushrooms are more to praise and not at all. Firstly, they are very long and hard to digest, so it is not recommended to use them for dinner, as you can get such unpleasant phenomena as bloating or indigestion. This dish should be excluded from the diet of older people, and children under 8 years old are strictly forbidden to use it. In addition, the average calorie content of fried mushrooms is about 150 kcal per 100 grams, so people who care about their figure should think carefully before eating them. Secondly, it should be remembered that fried mushrooms are very poorly combined with raw vegetables, so it is advisable to combine them only with stewed or boiled vegetables.
The calorie content of fried mushrooms depends on the companion vegetables and on the type of mushrooms themselves
Each vegetable, as you know, has its own set of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, therefore, when preparing mushrooms with vegetables, these features must be taken into account. For example, the calorie content of fried mushrooms with onions will more than double. What mushrooms will be used also plays a role. For example, raw blackberries have only 10 calories, mushrooms - 16 kcal, and porcini mushrooms - 34 kcal. Naturally, the more nutritious the mushrooms, the tastier and more nutritious the dishes are made from them. It is not for nothing that the porcini mushroom is considered the king among mushrooms. It is good in any form: marinated, boiled, and dried. But the tastiest thing is fried porcini mushrooms. Calorie content, unfortunately, in such a dish is quite high and amounts to 163 kcal.
