You&#8217;re out there. \u00a0You or someone you know claims to not like mushrooms. \u00a0Usually people are afraid of them because of the whole &#8220;fungus&#8221; thing. \u00a0Well, if that&#8217;s the case, I hope those of you who have this ridiculous fear never have to take any form of penicillin<b><\/b>. \u00a0Because you&#8217;re ingesting&#8230;that&#8217;s right, fungus.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you just don&#8217;t like the taste of mushrooms. \u00a0I can appreciate that. \u00a0However, mushrooms can be pretty bland. \u00a0If you season or marinate them well, they no longer taste like mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a texture issue? \u00a0I have a son who still can&#8217;t stand oatmeal because it&#8217;s texture. \u00a0Well, something YOU can do with mushrooms that I can&#8217;t do with oatmeal is chop it finely and stick it in all kinds of things &#8211; <a title=\"Omelettes\" href=\"https:\/\/extraordinarybbq.com\/bbq-leftovers-omelettes\/\">eggs<\/a>, soups, burgers, sauces. \u00a0That way you can still get the nutritional value of the mushroom without the texture.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of your excuses, there&#8217;s no denying the \u00a0nutritional value. \u00a0Here are just a few of the things found in mushrooms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Niacin<\/li>\n<li>Riboflavin<\/li>\n<li>Folate<\/li>\n<li>Phosphorus<\/li>\n<li>Iron<\/li>\n<li>Panthothenic Acid<\/li>\n<li>Zinc<\/li>\n<li>Potassium<\/li>\n<li>Copper<\/li>\n<li>Magnesium<\/li>\n<li>Vitamin B6<\/li>\n<li>Selenium<\/li>\n<li>Thiamin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They are also known as a great weight loss food. \u00a0They&#8217;re low in calories and carbs, but high in fiber and water content.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few more little known facts about mushrooms&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>There are more than 3,000 types of edible mushrooms! \u00a0Some are delicacies, some are found most anywhere. \u00a0I have yet to meet a mushroom I didn&#8217;t like. \u00a0Whether they&#8217;re dried, fresh, white, dark, chewy, light or meaty &#8211; they all have unique and different flavors that can easily complement other foods.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know has a mushroom aversion, I&#8217;d start with button mushrooms. \u00a0These little guys have a ton of good things packed inside them, a bland flavor, are easy to find, and will take ton any taste you want them to. Chop them small and fine, and no one will ever know they&#8217;re in your dish. \u00a0Or better yet &#8211; grill them. \u00a0Nothing masks the taste of something you&#8217;re unsure of than some smoke.\u00a0 I&#8217;d try the <a title=\"Easy Grilled Vegetables\" href=\"https:\/\/extraordinarybbq.com\/grilled-veggies\/\">easy grilled vegetable<\/a> dish with mushrooms as a good starting point.<\/p>\n<p>Portabellas &#8211; the steak of mushrooms. \u00a0Both the baby bellas and the regular size are meaty and thick. \u00a0They have a little more unique flavor to them, but when marinated and seasoned, again &#8211; the &#8220;mushroom scariness&#8221; should go away. \u00a0And you are left with a vegetable that is marinated like a meat, cooked like a meat, but without all the calorie and fat of a meat. \u00a0Who wouldn&#8217;t want that?
