Mushrooms are back and begin this week!
This week will be a bag of Lions Mane Mushrooms, locally grown from Mountain Mushrooms.
General mushroom cooking instructions: Mushrooms should be cooked for about 15-20 minutes. Sautéing them is what we do most around here!
Health Benefits of Mushrooms:
Aside from being a low-calorie food, mushrooms have a wide variety of health benefits! They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, all which are important for our bodies. Some specific ways they have been found to benefit us include: boosting our immune system, lowering blood pressure, assisting with weigh loss, and even reducing the risk of serious diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.
They are also an amazing option for plant-based diets, since they have a meaty texture and can absorb flavors extremely well!
Lions Mane Mushroom Tips:
Gaining much renown for its medicinal benefits to the brain and the nervous system, Lions Mane is also a standout culinary mushroom. It makes a superb crab substitute -- perfectly suited for a Vegetarian "Crab" Cake (Click here) -- or just slice it up and pan-fry like a steak. It also shines on the grill. Double your enjoyment knowing that you're boosting your neural networks with dinner!
