How do I cook these mushrooms?
The best part about mushrooms is that they go with SO MANY kinds of dishes. Mushrooms complement almost any everyday meal, they are versatile and even act as a meat replacement for their texture — from appetizers and salads to main dishes and sides, mushrooms can be enjoyed in so many ways.
Sear mushrooms for a more intense roasted, charred and smoky flavor and overall aroma. Roast mushrooms to get more sweet, salty and umami tastes with caramelized, nutty and buttery flavors.
They go well in tacos, soups, stews, stir fries, the list goes on.

Are mushrooms good for my health?
Mushrooms are full of nutritional benefits. Some of them include the following:

- Meaty mushrooms are low in calories, fat-free and can be a delicious substitute for higher-calorie ingredients.
