Happy #MushroomMonday! Mushroom Monday is a day each week when we all can gather around the plate to enjoy one of the most delicious, nutritious and Earth-friendly foods: the fresh mushroom. Today’s featured mushroom: King Oyster King oyster mushrooms have a meaty and slightly chewy texture. The flavor is incredibly umami, slightly nutty, and so flavorful. Find king oyster mushrooms at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, Asian markets, and you can even grow your own using a grow kit! As a registered dietitian, here’s three reasons why I encourage everyone to celebrate #MushroomMonday : * Mushrooms can be food for a better mood. Mushrooms are an excellent source of niacin, a nutrient shown to improve mood disorders. * Mushrooms are a nutritional powerhouse and contain more than 12 vitamins and minerals including B vitamins, selenium, copper, potassium, and vitamin D* (*UV exposed mushrooms) * Mushrooms play an important role in feeding your immune system.
