Lysine is beneficial to the physical and intellectual development of children. Flammulina velutipes is also called "enhanced mushroom" in Japan. Mushrooms contain a variety of vitamins and a variety of physiological activities. Of mineral elements. Such as VB1, VB12, Vc, Vk, VD and phosphorus, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron and many trace elements can supplement the deficiencies in other foods.
Edible fungus is rich in protein and amino acids, and its content is several to several tens of times that of ordinary vegetables and fruits. For example, fresh mushrooms contain 1.5-3.5% protein, which is 3 times that of Chinese cabbage, 6 times that of radishes, and 17 times that of apples. The protein content of 1 kg of dried mushrooms is equivalent to 2 kg of lean meat, 3 kg of eggs or 12 kg of milk. Edible mushrooms are rich in lysine, including 18 kinds of amino acids that make up protein, and 8 kinds of trace elements necessary for the human body. Lysine, which is low in cereal foods, is also abundant in edible fungi. The fat content of edible fungi is very low, accounting for about 0.2%-3.6% of the dry weight, and 74-83% of them are unsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial to human health. Edible mushrooms also contain vitamins. Edible mushrooms are rich in VB1 and V12, which are higher than meat. The Vc content of straw mushrooms is 1.2 to 2.8 times that of peppers, 2 to 5 times that of grapefruit and orange, and 17 times that of shiitake mushrooms. The original Vd content of shiitake mushrooms is as high as 128 international units, which is 8 times that of seaweed, 7 times that of sweet potatoes and 21 times that of soybeans. The original VD can be converted into VD by ultraviolet radiation, which promotes the absorption of calcium. Edible fungus is also rich in a variety of mineral elements: phosphorus, potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, etc. and some other trace elements. Tremella contains more phosphorus, which helps to restore and improve brain function. Shiitake mushrooms and fungus contain high iron content. The ash content of shiitake mushrooms accounts for 65% of potassium, which is a high-grade food in alkaline foods, which can neutralize the acid produced by meat foods.
