Recently, mushroom coffee' is gaining popularity not only among those who seek well-being but also among those who are interested in weight management in that they have reduced caffeine and added mushroom efficacy compared to conventional coffee. However, the real efficacy of mushroom coffee is still controversial, and there are opinions that eating real mushrooms as a dish may be more beneficial to health than simply mixing mushroom extract with coffee.
Jeon Eun-bok, a diet nutritionist at the Global 365mc Daejeon Hospital, summarized how to use mushroom coffee and mushrooms.
◇Mushroom coffee, what does it taste like…
The wellness trend is constantly changing, but the trend of putting more importance on health than the traditional method is drawing attention. One of them is the recent appearance of 'mushroom coffee'.
Mushroom coffee is not just ground mushrooms. Mushroom extract is processed into powder and mixed with coffee. The majority of products are also available in powder types. The mushrooms that enter the table use medicinal mushrooms such as chaga mushrooms, youngji mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, dongchunghacho, and roe-gung-deung mushrooms, which are well known as superfoods, not familiar species.
Mushroom coffee manufacturing brands introduce that beverages are rich in minerals such as potassium, selenium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as vitamin B and antioxidants. In addition to this, each mushroom's unique health promotion is added.
In this regard, mushroom coffee is already popular in the United States, where the actual alternative coffee market is rapidly growing. In fact, the number of hashtags using 'mushroom coffee' in English on TikTok has exceeded 38,000 so far and 85,000 on Instagram.
◇ Half caffeine, 'Reduce stomach burden and sleep well'
Why do you enjoy mushroom coffee. Mushroom coffee lovers argue that there is no calorie burden. One of the most well-known mushroom coffee brands is known to have 10 calories per serving (2.5g). The taste is not that different from regular coffee, so you can take care of your health while drinking coffee without worrying about weight gain. It is evaluated that drinking it does not lead to unnecessary increase in body fat.
Above all, caffeine contained in mushroom coffee is often half that of regular coffee. As a result, caffeine can be expected to increase energy and concentration while reducing the stimulation.
The former dietitian said "If a person who is sensitive to caffeine drinks coffee, the quality of sleep may decrease, leading to an increase in appetite caused by stress hormones, which can interfere with diet."In that sense, coffee with a reduced caffeine content could be helpful for people who are usually sensitive to caffeine."
◇Drink mushroom coffee vs. mushroom and coffee
Some brands argue that mushroom coffee helps relieve stress, support the immune system, and reduce inflammation.
However, foreign experts say 'There is still a need for more research' This does not mean that it is harmful to health, but it means that more research is needed on the health effects of adding coffee and mushroom powder.
"Mushrooms themselves are one of the many benefits of strengthening the immune system and reducing stress. They are a good source of protein and fiber, and they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a good choice for dieters, but mushrooms used in mushroom coffee are medicinal plants used as medicinal ingredients, so it seems necessary to study how they will react to our body when consumed in powder form. "
For that reason, Jeon recommended adding mushrooms to the diet in the form of eating them as they are to maximize the health benefits of mushrooms. This is the same for dieters.
The nutritionist Jeon continued, "If you don't eat mushrooms at all, I recommend you to cook mushrooms rather than mushroom coffee"He advised that "a variety of mushroom dishes can satisfy protein, fiber, selenium, etc., as well as taste and satiety.'
Next is a simple mushroom recipe recommended by a nutritionist. The first 'Mushroom Salad' Slice mushrooms, roast them golden in olive oil, and place them on fresh salad vegetables. It is a simple dish that is completed by spraying balsamic dressing, and is suitable for diet diets because you can consume dietary fiber and protein at the same time.
Mushroom jeon, which can be made simply, can also be a good option to take care of your diet and health together. Mushroom pancake is an pancake made of thinly sliced mushrooms coated with flour and eggs and baked until golden. It has a good savory taste and texture, making it a good nutritional snack for the whole family.
