The benefits and harms of champignons
The mushrooms we'll be using for the recipe below are one of the most nutritious foods on earth. Champignons contain a lot of protein and vitamins, as well as many beneficial minerals, but how harmful are champignons? Now we will find out:
Benefit
One of the main advantages of champignon is the incredible amount of vitamins contained not only in its skin, but also in its very juicy pulp.
So in the skin you can find vitamins of the following groups:
- Vitamin A is responsible for immunity, as well as for protein synthesis and the breakdown of simple carbohydrates.
- Vitamin D3 is responsible for maintaining vision in both a healthy and rapidly growing young child.
On the other hand, already in the pulp we directly have the following vitamins:
- Vitamin B – with the help of it the body synthesizes many important hormones necessary to maintain sanity
- Vitamin C is a classic vitamin responsible for the growth of bones and dental tissue; it is the one that protects us from dental diseases with timely care.
Other advantages include a huge amount of protein in the pulp; it, in turn, takes up up to 80% of the total chemical composition of the mushroom, which is why champignon is, in principle, considered a kind of mushroom meat.
In addition, champignons do an excellent job of suppressing inflammatory processes, which is clearly seen from an experiment on mice, the size of whose tumors decreased by 10% when they consumed champignon fruits.
Harm
If you don’t find fault with the champignon chemically, then from the point of view of biology and mycology, mushrooms themselves are an inherently dirty product. The thing is that all fruits have a fairly dense and fine network of pores, into which, like a sponge, dirt and other small living creatures become heavily clogged.
The second disadvantage of champignons is the huge number of doubles and simply similar fruits, which often include doubles and champignon-like fruits of some types of fly agarics and toadstools.
One of the disadvantages of champignon is also the indigestible fiber - chitin.

Preparing to cook
Above we described why champignons are not such a healthy product, but this does not mean that you can now give up and forget about your favorite product. We have prepared several points on how to properly clean champignons so that you no longer have to be afraid of dirt, chitin, or insects (if your fruits are collected in the forest):

Salad with chicken, pickled champignons and pineapple
In an attempt to diversify the menu of a family dinner or holiday table, housewives are constantly looking for new interesting recipes for delicious dishes. We suggest you try making a salad with chicken, pickled champignons and pineapple, which will pleasantly surprise guests and family with its original taste, and will save housewives time.
Ingredients:
- chicken breast (boiled or smoked) – 350 gr.,
- canned pineapple - half a can,
- marinated champignons – 100-150 gr.,
- hard cheese – 100-150 gr.,
- mayonnaise – 150-200 gr.,
- salt, ground black pepper, herbs - to taste.
Preparing the salad
- Boil the chicken breast and cool. You can cook the chicken in advance, or use smoked chicken. Cut the meat into thin strips. Place in a deep enamel or glass bowl and mix all the ingredients in it.
- Drain the juice from the can of pineapple. We cut the canned fruit into strips; for this it is better to use pineapple slices. Add to chicken.
- We take out whole canned champignons from a jar of mushrooms and cut them into quarters and put them in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Try to buy any canned mushrooms in glass, so you can see their quantity, size and color. Use small mushrooms in this recipe.
- Coarsely grate two thirds of the cheese into a bowl with the chicken, pineapples and mushrooms. Top the salad with the remaining cheese. Salt, add spices and finely chopped herbs, season with mayonnaise. Gently mix all ingredients with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Place the finished mixture in a salad bowl or form a slide on a flat dish, sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese. Decorate with sprigs of herbs, dill is ideal, and serve.
Note to housewives
- There is no need to infuse the salad. It is better to serve fresh, otherwise the pineapples will give juice, and the dish will “drain” and lose its taste.
- To prevent chicken meat from becoming too dry, cook the breast without removing the skin. Place the fillet in already boiling water; the protein in the meat will curdle and “seal” all the juices and flavors inside. Then, reduce the heat to medium and cook for a maximum of 15 minutes. Salt the meat 5 minutes before cooking. By boiling the breast in vegetable broth, you will get a fillet that is not only tasty, but also aromatic.
- If you have enough time, you can use fresh ones instead of pickled mushrooms. Cut five medium-sized champignons into thin slices and fry.
- For greater brightness, you can add medium-sized boiled carrots, cut into small cubes or strips, to the salad.
