Move over oatmeal there’s a new healthy option for breakfast and it’s a fungi.Who knew that mushrooms, especially Crimini, have shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, copper, selenium, zinc, anti-cancer benefits, and cardiovascular benefits just to name a few. Not only are they delicious but are a powerhouse of nutrition as well and not just for topping your steak with. Criminis are currently in season which means there at their peak of flavor but are also available year round at your local grocery store.
It’s suggested for maximum health benefits when cooking, to only cook crimini mushrooms for 7 minutes max, for more info on health and nutritional benefits of crimini mushrooms refer to this website, (http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=97)
So, Instead of high-fat, high-sodium breakfast meats, consider having vitamin- packed crimini mushrooms in your omelet or simply sautéed with fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes. For those who would like a new take on breakfast, try them in some pho soup.
