Who Likes Mushrooms?

Posted on November 3, 2009

When was the last time you had mushrooms?  If it has been a while, you may wanna grab some.  They’re good for you!

I don’t remember liking them much as a kid, but now I want them every night.  I don’t know how else to prepare them, so I usually just slice them and cook them in a pan and add them to grilled chicken. 

If there’s leftover, I’ll throw them in an omelet the next day with other veggies.  Any other ideas on what else to do with mushrooms?

Any way, the bottom line is that mushrooms can be pretty good for you.

“Laboratory reports and animal studies show that compounds in mushrooms may do everything from bolster immune function to suppress breast and prostate cancers to decrease tumor size.”

“Mushrooms, from the humble button to the giant portobello, harbor large amounts of an antioxidant called L-ergothioneine.”

Mushrooms can be a nice fit into your regular rotation of go-to veggies.

Happy eating!

    Kip and I both love mushrooms. We add them to a lot of our regular meals. I’m glad to know they’re good for us!
