Back in the day, when I was around fourteen, my mother used to buy me this great-tasting yellow-colored vegetable rice from a diner she would frequent.
This vegan dish had tiny cut mushrooms prepared within the variety of vegetables that were intertwined.
Prior to eating this rice, I had only had foods with a mushroom flavor that I enjoyed without the actual particles of mushrooms themselves.
As an adult, I tried certain mushrooms that I just could not tolerate. I didn’t like the taste nor the texture.
I don’t know what type of mushrooms that were in the rice years ago or how it was cooked I just know I was able to eat them and chew on them satisfactorily.
Mushrooms are extremely beneficial to one’s health.
They are excellent for brain health, digestive and immune health, heart health, cancer and all-around longevity in general.
I began to take Mushroom supplements years ago. They are wonderful and safe (unless one has a particular allergy)!
If one chooses to incorporate a mushroom supplement into their diet just know to purchase those with the fruiting body extracts instead of mycelium.
Mushrooms are inherently comprised of mycelium, but supplements made from mushrooms are not equivalent to ones made from mycelium.
The fruiting body of the mushroom contains high concentrations of beta-glucans, triterpenes, and other particular compounds such as cordycepin.
Mycelium is the vegetative bit of the mushroom.
The fruiting body is the bit that grows from the ground. It is able to be harvested.
