Mushroom as a Meat Substitute?

Published By Mushroom Angel

Although not high in protein, mushrooms are an excellent meat substitute. However, these small wonders outperform meat in many ways: they are high in vitamins and minerals such as selenium, zinc, vitamin B1, B2, B5, B6, and B12. Furthermore, they are high in antioxidants and are low in fat and carbs. They are the only vegetable that naturally contains vitamin D because of their exposure to sunshine.

Mushrooms add a flavor known as umami that is incredibly gratifying, making them excellent to use in spaghetti sauce to preserve a rich flavor and texture while decreasing or eliminating the meat. Replace a quarter to half of the meat in dishes that contain a lot of meat with mushrooms to generate a dish that is reduced in calories but still delicious.

How to Prepare Mushrooms

You can usually find mushrooms in the produce section of many grocery or health food shops. Collecting them in the wild is not advised because many mushroom kinds are dangerous and challenging to identify from edible varieties.

You can place chopped mushrooms on top of meals raw to add texture and flavor. Just make sure to wash them first thoroughly.

Here are some popular methods for replacing meat with mushrooms in your meals:

• Adding mushrooms to your homemade pizza
• Sprinkling mushrooms on salads
• Garlic butter mushrooms
• Using mushrooms as an ingredient in a pasta sauce
• Adding mushroom to stir fry with other vegetables
• Instead of using ham or bacon for breakfast, cook a mushroom omelet
