Mushroom Nutritional value Organic chemistry

Nutri tional

Chanterelles are generally high in vitamin C (0.4 mg/g crisp weight), high in potassium (around 0.5%, new weight)

and are among the wealthiest wellsprings of vitamin D known, with ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) as high as 212 IU/100 grams new weight.

Scientific exploration has recommended that the golden chanterelle may have powerful insecticidal properties that are innocuous to people but then secure the mushroom body against creepy crawlies and other possibly destructive organisms.

NUTRITIONAL FACTS

Vitamin D2 content

The Vitamin D2 content of maitake mushrooms is 36 IU/calorie, whereas wild salmon only has 3.2 IU of vitamin D per calorie! Other mushrooms like Chanterelle and Morel contain decent amounts of vitamin D2.

Zellner’s table

Mushrooms are an important food, they consist of 85% water, they are rich in mineral salts, potassium, copper and fibres, and have a particularly low number of calories and fats. Zellner’s table indicates the quantitative value of the nutrients in the various species. In the table it can be observed that the puffball is the mushroom with the highest protein content, the yellow boletus has the highest lipid content, while the chanterelle has the highest vitamin content.

Nutritional facts

Chanterelle mushrooms contain high measures of ergocalciferol, all the more ordinarily alluded to as vitamin D2, which offers the body some assistance with absorbing calcium. These substantial mushrooms likewise contain critical measures of protein, vitamin A, potassium, iron, chromium and eight crucial amino acids. The large amounts of vitamin D2 are associated with being in charge of the absence of enthusiasm from bugs, slugs and other untamed life.
