Recipes for cooking salted butter for the winter in jars
The most popular mushrooms in many regions of our country are boletus, because they perfectly tolerate low air temperatures and grow until late autumn. You cannot keep them fresh for a long time: this product belongs to the category of perishable. This means that one of the options to preserve great taste for a long time is to dry, marinate or salt the mushrooms.
Collecting a whole basket of these wonderful mushrooms is not difficult, because you can find a whole family in the meadow. They justify their name: the oily sticky skin covering the surface of the cap protects the fruit body from moisture loss.
Advantages of salted butter
Salted butter at home is a low-calorie dish, but they cannot be classified as dietary products. This is due to the difficulties in digestion due to the high content of protein, which is called "forest meat". In meat products, its content is lower than in mushrooms, so representatives of the forest kingdom are perfect for those who follow the diet and seek to fill the menu with protein products.
In addition to protein, mushrooms have a high content of phosphorus and beta-glucans, which have a positive effect on strengthening the immune system. Microelements, which are found in large quantities in mushrooms, are poorly absorbed by the body.
Salted butter is a very tasty dish, and also quite satisfying. A perfectly structured diet allows you to consume them in small quantities, but, of course, you should not abuse them. Let's talk about how to cook a snack.
