Marvellous Mushrooms

You can’t go wrong with mushrooms. They’re fat-free, low-salt, low-calorie, and cholesterol-free. They’re also packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Nutritional benefits vary depending on the type of mushroom but overall, they are a good source of nutrients.

Mushrooms come in lots of different shapes, sizes, and colours. For many years they’ve been used for their unique ability to add flavour in lots of different cuisines.

When choosing your mushrooms, make sure they feel firm, aren’t moist to the touch and are mould-free. They can be stored in a paper bag inside the fridge for about five days. Brush the dirt off and rinse them lightly when you’re ready to use them.

Mushrooms are incredibly versatile. You can prepare them in so many ways and pair them with lots of different ingredients. Slice them up raw and toss them in a salad, grill them, sauté them, or roast them. Add them to soups, sandwiches, wraps, casseroles, and Italian dishes. Mushrooms work well as a side dish, or as the main course for vegetarians. Portobello mushrooms are often served as “burgers” or “steaks” because of their meaty texture.
