The spread of Western and European eating habits has partially influenced the change in the diet of our citizens.
There is practically no trace left of the daily puffy pies, turnips and beets, but traditional and beloved dishes are still present. Aspic, cabbage and other dishes and products, as it turned out, are not just tasty, but also healthy superfoods, capable of giving a fight to shrimp and chia seeds.
Aspic
This dish has millions of fans and just as many haters. Some love it for its taste, while others can't stand its specific appearance and consistency.
However, the fact is that aspic is a treasure trove of benefits for maintaining health, beauty and youth.
The dish is prepared using beef and pork parts with a high collagen content, the natural production of which slows down after 25 years.
Animal collagen is partially absorbed, but this is enough to restore the tissues of blood vessels, skin, muscles and joints.
Sauerkraut
According to doctors, cabbage that has undergone lactic acid fermentation should be included in the diet due to its high content of vitamin C. During fermentation, lactic acid is released from the vegetable, which stabilizes the aforementioned vitamin and preserves its properties for a long time.
In addition to lactic acid, sauerkraut contains tartaric acid, which prevents the active conversion of carbohydrates into fats. It promotes weight loss.
Salo
In pickled and salted form, this product is deservedly called a superfood. It contains a high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the brain and gall bladder.
Moreover, acids activate the production of a special protein that promotes the breakdown of fat cells, provoke a slight increase in body temperature, and provide long-term satiety.
Oatmeal
A product mentioned in ancient Russian writings. Today, against the backdrop of the development of a healthy lifestyle, oatmeal is beginning a second life. In Russia and Sweden, it is prepared from barley and oats. In Finland and Estonia, peas and rye are mixed in.
The production technology has remained virtually unchanged over the centuries, so the flour, after being processed in the oven, has a beige hue and the aroma of roasted nuts.
Oatmeal is a source of carbohydrates, protein and lecithin. Frequent use will strengthen the nerve endings of the brain, preventing arteriosclerosis.
Seeds
A kind of snack that was once incredibly popular. Today, sunflower seeds are a rare choice for a group to watch a TV series with, and in vain.

Russian superfoods are as healthy and nutritious as more popular oysters, almonds or cod liver. Moreover, traditional food will bring more pleasure from consumption.
