Magical Mushroom


Like chicken, mushrooms are culinary chameleons that acquire the taste of any spices added to them. But the most fun part is that they are easy to cook as well.

Fresh mushrooms have proven themselves to be one of the most versatile and perfect meal partners, whether it's a scrumptious salad, zesty pasta, savoury chicken, mouth watering steak or pizza with fresh mushrooms go with just about anything.
They can be eaten raw, sauteed, boiled, baked, grilled or pickled. Mushrooms can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The distinctive flavour and texture of mushrooms makes them a fantastic choice to add to any of your favourite savoury dishes. Toss some button mushrooms in a salad, slice a few and saute them for breakfast, or add to your favourite spaghetti bolognese sauce. They are also great on kebabs, added to pie fillings, served as a sauce with your favourite steak.

But don't let the humble mushroom fool you. Hidden beneath its creamy white dome is a powerhouse of natural flavour and goodness. Neither a vegetable nor a fruit, mushrooms are a fungus that are unique in flavour. One of the great things about them is that there is practically no waste, so you get exactly what you have paid for.

Health food

Mushrooms are low in kilojoules and have virtually no fat, so they are perfect for weight control. They are also filling which means that they will curb your appetite; great news if you are trying to cut back on your food intake for weight loss. Mushrooms are packed full of antioxidants. As you know, antioxidants help to keep the body healthy. Mushrooms are the only nonanimal food to contain vitamin D. This vitamin is both important for your brain and nervous system functions. The B12 found in mushrooms is easy for your body to absorb.
