Mushrooms are a food with many advantages and properties; they differ from other plants because they lack chlorophyll and are characterized mainly by its large contribution of plant proteins of high biological value. They possess considerable proportions of minerals like phosphorus, iron and potassium, are low in sodium and are an excellent source of trace elements such as chlorine, sulfur, boron, manganese and zinc.
In vegetarian diets, mushrooms are a favorite food because they serve as a substitute for traditional dishes made with meat, beating its values for health because they contain no saturated fats or toxins or harmful additives like meat, which also lacks fiber. Mushrooms are rich in water and fiber, which helps neutralize the acidity of the blood.

Thanks so much for the wonderful recipes! And I’m sure they are applicable with other types of mushrooms as well. My fiance and I love mushroom picking, and living in an area that has abundant mushroom growth, we love going into the forests with our guide books, and selecting ripe mushrooms to cook same-day!
