Mushroom dishes are on almost every holiday table. However, after the feast, we often feel a sense of heaviness in our stomachs. The thing is that we combine foods, especially mushrooms, incorrectly. Glavred explains why mushrooms are dangerous if you combine them incorrectly.
First, you need to figure out who is generally contraindicated from eating mushrooms in any form. After all, mushrooms are protein foods that are difficult to digest.
Who is at risk:
- pregnant and breastfeeding women
- children
- elderly people;
- people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- allergy sufferers;
- people suffering from liver and kidney diseases;
- those with individual intolerance.
Healthy people should also eat mushrooms with caution. It is believed that the daily allowance of mushrooms without harm to health is 120-150 grams.
What foods should not be combined with mushrooms?
If you care about your health, you should make it a habit to combine mushrooms only with foods that are easy to digest. The fact is that mushrooms contain chitin, which is very good at removing toxins and slags, but by itself creates heaviness in the stomach.
Thus, mushrooms should never be combined with meat, as this combination can seriously affect liver function. Also, mushrooms should not be combined with beans, peas, and celery. Your stomach will definitely not be happy with such a noisy mixture of foods.
In addition, you should refrain from eating mushrooms with white bread and pasta. These combinations will take a very long time to digest and will create heaviness in the stomach. It is also not a good idea to use mushrooms as a filling for pies or pizza.
It is also not recommended to consume mushrooms with alcoholic beverages. This combination is very dangerous for the body, as it can cause food poisoning.
What foods can mushrooms be combined with
Mushrooms go best with stewed cabbage, beets, potatoes, and onions. You can also add mushrooms to a variety of vegetable salads and make light broths from them. The best combination is a mushroom soup with pearl barley. Or you can cook borscht with mushrooms and croutons.
Mushrooms can also be used to make delicious sandwiches. Mushrooms go well with boiled eggs, lettuce, herbs, mustard, and black bread.
