In the era of food scarcity, people now have a variety of choices on their dining tables, which can satisfy both their taste buds and provide the necessary nutrients for their bodies. However, this often brings a new problem - many people blindly pursue their taste buds and neglect the healthy structure of their diet, resulting in excessive intake of calories and fats. High blood pressure, high blood lipids, and various cardiovascular diseases follow one after another, posing a great threat to our health.
To lower blood pressure and blood lipids, many people have tried various health products, but they often overlook the existence of healthy ingredients around them. Today, we recommend one: black fungus. It is not only affordable but also has many benefits.
Lower Blood Pressure and Blood Lipids
Black fungus is a rare nourishing food for those who suffer from "the three highs" and cardiovascular diseases. It contains rich vitamin K, as well as calcium, magnesium, and other trace elements, which have the functions of promoting blood circulation, preventing blood clotting, and softening blood vessels. It also has a good effect on lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.
Replenish Blood and Qi
Black fungus is known as the "king of vegetarian food" and the "meat in vegetarian food." This is not an empty title. It contains a surprising amount of iron, even higher than most meat foods, making it an excellent choice for replenishing blood and Qi.
Clear the Intestines and Promote Bowel Movements
Black fungus contains rich dietary fiber and plant collagen, which can effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion and absorption of food. In particular, plant collagen has a strong adsorption capacity, which helps to adhere food residues together and excrete them in a timely manner, thus cleaning the intestines.
Although black fungus has many benefits, the way it is consumed is equally important. Below are a few recommended ways to fully utilize the benefits of black fungus.
Black Fungus Salad
Black fungus salad not only has a crispy texture but also preserves the nutrients of black fungus to the maximum extent. The method is also very simple.
First, soak the black fungus in warm water, wash and cut carrots, green beans, and other side dishes into shreds. Then blanch them in boiling water, remove and tear them apart, and place them on a plate. Add the shredded carrots and other side dishes to the plate, and mix them with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and salt to taste. It is ready to be served.
Black Fungus Tofu Soup
Black fungus soup is delicious and can be paired with tender tofu for a rich and nutritious taste. The method is as follows.
First, wash and drain the black fungus, cut the tofu into cubes, and slice the ginger for later use. Then wash the pork, cut it into slices, and mix it with starch, salt, soy sauce, and cooking oil. Marinate it for a while. Then, put an appropriate amount of water in a pot, add ginger slices, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, add the tofu and black fungus and cook until done. Finally, add the pork slices and season with the desired amount of seasoning. It is ready to be served.
