Fresh Iowa Mushrooms from Anything
But Green Gardens
Mushrooms have been
cultivated commercially in the United States for about a
century. They have also been considered a delicacy by
chefs throughout the world since ancient times. In fact,
the Romans often fed this "food of the gods" to their
soldiers before they went off into battle.
Organically Grown Mushrooms, such as the varieties we
supply to the marketplace, are high in nutritional
value. This is because they contain essential amino
acids, potassium, some B vitamins, calcium and other
minerals. They are also low in calories.
Nutritional value is not
the only important reason you should eat mushrooms.
Mushrooms also have Medicinal qualities, and that means
that they are able to help your body fight of diseases
and sickness. Health studies have shown that mushrooms
can boost
cardiovascular health, lower the risk of some cancers,
promote immune system function; ward off viruses, reduce
inflammation, lessen the effects of allergies, help to
balance blood sugar levels and also support the body's
detoxifying mechanisms.
In an article published
on August 15, 2005 at "Medical
News Today" A major study of medicinal
mushrooms by Cancer Research UK is the most
comprehensive ever undertaken. The results of the study
were very positive. The popular and wide spread use of
medicinal mushrooms in Asia left researchers wondering
why we are not making better use of them in the West.
So, Why Aren't You Eating
