Morel

What kind of mushroom is this? It hurts not the grebe. Take - do not take. . . This is how many people think when they stumble upon the miracle of the forest - a mushroom called "morel. "

Morels have been known to humanity for a very long time. The first references date back to the days of ancient Rome, when these mushrooms were considered an exquisite delicacy and served exclusively on expensive dishes. In many countries of the world, morels are still treated with great respect. After the truffle, this is the most expensive mushroom and a real diamond for culinary experts.

Morels are mushroom pioneers, as they are born in April, much earlier than other mushrooms. Lovers advise picking only young fungi, and eating after drying or thorough heat treatment, because morels are classified as conditionally edible mushrooms.

The benefits of morel

The main benefit of morel can be considered the presence of a substance called FD4, which is a type of polysaccharide and strengthens the eye muscles, while directly working with the lens of the eye (does not make it cloudy). The created morel-based drug has passed numerous clinical trials, but its effectiveness exceeded all expectations: vision improved by 20-30% in 60% of patients, and the risk of cataracts decreased by 80%! In addition, there were cases of lightening of the lens of the eye.

The only drawback of the new drug can be called rather long-term use (at least six months).

But he received the greatest fame as a means that cleans lymph and blood. The benefits of morel are perfectly manifested in the treatment of diseases of the immune system and diseases of the blood.

Harm morel

Morels are very healthy and tasty, but do not forget that before preparing dishes from these mushrooms, they need to be boiled and the decoction drained.

When eaten, there is another danger - they can be confused with lines that are truly poisonous. We can say that the harm of morels, compared to the action of lines, is almost unnoticed.
