What good are mushrooms?
The addition of mushrooms can turn a meal into a culinary delight. Mushrooms impart an earthy, sometimes meaty, flavor to foods. They are also high in protein and B vitamins, rich in anti-oxidants, and are fat and cholesterol free. Some mushrooms have proven to be anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-cancerous. Mushrooms are the recyclers of our environment. Some are decay organisms, breaking down plants into organic debris, and recycling essential nutrients.
