Mushrooms: plant-based food with remarkable qualities

Even though mushrooms consist of about 90% water, they still have many important qualities. They are low in calories, low in fat and have a higher protein content than many other plant foods. Mushroom proteins in particular are a good source of two essential amino acids: lysine and tryptophan. They contain many minerals, such as selenium, potassium, copper, iron and phosphorus. Mushrooms are also rich in B vitamins: riboflavin [B2], folate [B9], thiamine [B1], pantothenic acid [B5] and niacin [B3]. These substances ensure that your body actually absorbs the energy from the food we consume.

How are edible mushrooms grown?

Edible mushrooms are grown in large, dark rooms in large racks containing compost. The culture accurately mimics the microclimate of undergrowth. After about 15 days, a fluffy web of white threads grows on the soil. When the first buds appear from this, the temperature is reduced. And then for the little mushroom the real, big work begins, in which they form, grow, ripen, are harvested and then grow again during three fructifications. The entire cycle takes 35 days from sowing to exhaustion of the crop compost. The finished compost is an excellent agricultural soil conditioner, thanks to the mineral salts released by the fungus.
