Delicious Mushroom Dishes
There’s nothing like a spicy curry to warm the coldest days of winter, so heat up your kitchen with a taste of Delhi. And did you know Mushrooms were recently elevated to superfood status as they are one of the few sources of L-ergothioniene, a powerful antioxidant, outdoing either of the two foods previously believed to be the best sources, chicken liver and wheatgerm. They are in fact one of the highest antioxidant vegetables in the world, in the same league as the red pepper and spinach.
