BUTTON MUSHROOMS

Yes, button mushrooms are good for you! They contain B vitamins, selenium, potassium, and other important vitamins and minerals. They're also high in protein, around 20 - 30% by dry weight.

While button mushrooms on their own don't contain a lot of vitamin D, Monterey Mushrooms discovered that if you expose them to pulses of UV light while growing, it drastically increases their vitamin D content. Since so many people are D deficient, this is a nice breakthrough for those needing a daily dose of this important vitamin. See how Monterey Mushrooms increases the vitamin D content in the Agaricus bisporus in the fun little video below. Agaricus bisporus will last longer in your refrigerator than many other mushrooms, usually around a week. It's better to store them in a paper bag rather than plastic. They'll last even longer if you take the time to put them in paper! Cook - You can use these in almost any recipe. Go ahead and prepare them in soups, stews, and stir frys. Use them as a flavorful topping for meat, fish, poultry, or pizza. Marinate them. Skewer and grill them. Chop them up and use them in a mushroom duxelles recipe. Your imagination is the limit! Yet the easiest way to cook them is in a simple sauté. By chopping them up and sautéing with a little oil that has a high smoke point, you're left with delicious little flavor bombs that you could add to any recipe. So button mushrooms are definitely good for you, but can they be bad for you as well? Agaricus bisporus, along with many other edible mushrooms, contain a few poisonous or irritating compounds. These include hydrazines, a group of carcinogenic chemicals. These chemicals occur in small amounts, and who hasn't eaten a salad with some raw mushrooms on it before? Eating a raw button mushroom isn't going to kill you, but who knows what a small amount of chemical exposure can do to you over time. Fortunately these compounds are greatly reduced by cooking. For this reason, and the fact that the uncooked, chitinous cell walls of a mushroom are hard for a human to digest, I always recommend eating mushrooms cooked. Oh sure, there are many people out there who love their raw mushrooms. Yet they really should be cooked before eating. Not only do you reduce or eliminate toxic compounds, but also the heat breaks down the mushroom cell walls and allows your body to absorb more of the healthy nutrients that fungi have to offer. For a longer treatise on eating raw mushrooms I'd recommend this article by David Campbell on MykoWeb. So go ahead and enjoy your mushrooms on salads or anything else. Just cook them first. Research shows that it's better for you, and they taste better too. Ounce 30grams $300 Qp = 4 Oz.  Price $ 450 Hp = 8 Oz.  Price $ 700 Pound =.     Price $ 1200
