Las chufas son el ingrediente b\u00e1sico <\/strong>de una de las bebidas m\u00e1s popularizadas en Espa\u00f1a: la horchata<\/strong>. En verano es frecuentemente consumida debido a su agradable sabor y sus m\u00faltiples propiedades organol\u00e9pticas muchas veces desconocidas.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la chufa?<\/h2>\n

La chufa (Cyperus esculentus<\/em><\/strong>) es un tub\u00e9rculo de una planta llamada juncia avellanada. Se trata de un tub\u00e9rculo cultivado desde hace miles de a\u00f1os, y empleado no solo en gastronom\u00eda, sino tambi\u00e9n para la cura de m\u00faltiples enfermedades as\u00ed como de su prevenci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n

La chufa en ocasiones se toma en forma de fruto seco<\/strong>, una forma saludable e interesante de consumirla e incorporarla de esta forma a una vida sana, sin embargo, este es un tub\u00e9rculo, como se ha indicado.<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo incorporar la chufa a una vida saludable?<\/h2>\n

Los componentes fundamentales de este tub\u00e9rculo son los carbohidratos<\/strong>, as\u00ed como la fibra, las grasas y las prote\u00ednas<\/strong>. Las grasas en concreto son bastante elevadas (30 %)<\/strong>, y al igual que los amino\u00e1cidos que contiene son esenciales para el organismo humano. Adem\u00e1s, el tipo de grasas son monoinsaturadas<\/strong>, es decir, son aquellas grasas beneficiosas para el organismo, como puede ser el omega 9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Todas estos elementos hacen que la chufa conserve m\u00faltiples propiedades como ayudar al sistema digestivo, proteger al coraz\u00f3n frente a enfermedades coronarias, ayudar al sistema inmune y prevenir la oxidaci\u00f3n de las c\u00e9lulas, es astringente, probi\u00f3tica, es saciante, ayuda en el caso de padecer \u00falceras de est\u00f3mago, estimula la producci\u00f3n de leche durante la lactancia…<\/p>\n

As\u00ed pues, la chufa es un alimento aconsejable para las personas que padezcan colesterol, diabetes, hipertensi\u00f3n, artritis, o enfermedades cardiovasculares. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Las chufas<\/strong> pueden consumirse prensadas con az\u00facar<\/strong> en forma de horchata, o bien, como fruto seco si se prefiere una opci\u00f3n m\u00e1s saludable. Sea como sea, este tub\u00e9rculo contiene una serie de caracter\u00edsticas fundamentales para mantener una vida sana<\/strong> y puede ser la clave fundamental para una dieta equilibrada. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
