Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Lyndi Mies with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
Mushrooms are in season now, and bring rich flavor and natural goodness, making simple meals feel a little extra special. They’re a good source of B vitamins, potassium, fiber and other nutrients, adding plant-based power to your plate. Plus, they are the only produce source of vitamin D.
- Whether you’re craving something creamy and comforting or are looking to add extra veggies to dinner, mushrooms make every bite cozy and satisfying.
- When shopping for mushrooms, look for firm, dry mushrooms without dark spots. Store them in a paper bag in the fridge for best freshness. Start with one variety and experiment from there.
- Check out your local store to find White Button, Portobella, Baby Bella, Shiitake and more options in the produce department, and look for three new recipes in the November/December HealthyBites magazine that feature mushrooms.
