I did a brief investigation of its nutritional properties and contributions to health, I also want to share a couple of very common recipes in my country and especially in my family because we love it (so we do it very often) are very simple.
They say it comes from Southeast Asia, it has many nutritional qualities, as well as incredible properties and an exquisite flavor. It is considered one of the most complete foods.
This name is given to the ripe banana or banana in Venezuela, it is a tropical fruit that has incredible health benefits. For example, the cambur contains three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose. In addition also fiber and vitamins therefore, increases energy levels immediately, sustained and substantial, so we see how athletes and great athletes consume it during or at the end of their practice or competition.
Among the most remarkable benefits is:
- Because it contains tryptophan or serotonin, it contributes to anti-depressant processes.
- It contains a high content of iron, so it also acts as a coadjuvant during premenstrual syndrome and to increase the production of hemoglobin (against anemia).
- Contains high potassium and low in salt, so it helps control blood pressure levels, as well as decreases the hangover, normalizes the heart rate which sends oxygen to the brain.
- Helps control cravings (against anxiety), gastritis and constipation. Eating cambur on a regular basis allows a much healthier digestive system. Far from diseases such as ulcers, constant acidity that can lead to gastritis.
The cambur has pectin, one of the most potent antioxidants that exists and therefore allows better digestion and reduce the presence of free radicals in the liver. By having a better digestion you will not feel heartburn, or gas, and, of course, you will not have to worry about gastritis.
Because of its high content of vitamin B6 will increase the production of white blood cells in the blood, also related to the immune system. With your high defenses you do not have to worry about common illnesses like flu or allergies.
Eating cambur before and after exercising will help you not only have the energy to fulfill your routine to the letter. But at the end, it will prevent you from having cramps or suffering from muscular discomfort that will not allow you to perform your tasks in a normal way.
As it also has antioxidants, eliminates toxins that can lead to kidney and liver cancer. This because of the presence of phenols, you also have other anti-cancer properties.
Recipes:
N ° 1: Caramelized Cambur
You need:
2 mature Cambures
1 Cup of Granulated Sugar (it does not matter if Blanca or brunette)
Cinnamon to taste)
2 tablespoons of Butter
Preparation:
Start by placing a nonstick skillet to heat (medium heat), then add the butter so that it melts and so you can place the peeled cambers (they can be whole or if you prefer cut in half crosswise), until they brown in the butter, if you need to add a little more butter it is no problem with this. Then add the cinnamon and sugar spreading on the cambures (without beating at any time) and let caramelize. To finish let them cook on low heat while reducing the caramel.
And smart ... TARANNNN, delicious caramel changes.
N ° 2: Cambur cake
You need:
5-6 mature changes
1 Cup of Wheat Flour
2 Eggs (complete)
6 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar
Cinnamon to taste)
Sandwich (to taste)
1 Cup of Milk (cold)
½ Kg of semi-hard cheese sliced or scratched
¼ Kg of striped Mozarella cheese (to gratinate)
Vanilla essence (to taste)
To begin, peel the slices, cut into slices and fry until golden brown. When the slices are ready, they are placed on a napkin or absorbent paper to release a little oil (if desired).
On the other hand I mix milk, eggs, cinnamon, flour, sugar and vanilla essence in the blender until the mixture is homogeneous. Besides, the sandwich is chopped into strips.
Now assemble the cake placing in a container smeared with butter and a breeze of sugar and flour (so that it does not stick and a rich edge is left) a bottom (or bed) of the mixture, then a layer of slices is placed and over they put the semi-hard cheese and the sandwich. Then it is covered with another layer of the mixture and so on until it completes ... always leaving a layer of mixture between the slices of cambur with cheese and sandwich. To finish, add a layer of mozzarella cheese on top so that the top layer is gratin when cooking.
I hope you like my POST! Until next time
