The Remarkable Health Benefits of Mushrooms<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mushrooms are chock full of compounds that are anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-mutagenic (meaning they prohibit mutations in cells), promote longevity (did someone say fountain of youth?), improve coronary artery health and help lower risk of stroke.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The main compound that has been discovered to be so advantageous when we include mushrooms in our diet has also been found to be neuroprotective against stress induced injuries in an accumulative way. Meaning the more often we eat them, the more benefit we receive because this compound hangs out in our tissues, offering longer results. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#205fa7″ scene_position=”center” scale_desktop=”0.99″ text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” color_overlay=”#000000″ advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”fast” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=”waves_opacity”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.5″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default” column_padding_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

\u201cEating two or more portions of mushrooms per week has been shown to reduce your risk of mild cognitive impairment by more than half, compared to one portion a week or less.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 cups (or more) lightly chopped wild mushroom mix<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2153 cup heavy cream (I like Alexandre\u2019s Organic A2\/A2 cream)<\/span><\/p>\n

1 small onion, chopped<\/span><\/p>\n

1 small bunch Italian parsley, washed and chopped\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves<\/span><\/p>\n

2 tsp fresh sage leaves, chopped<\/span><\/p>\n

EVOO or grass-fed butter for sauteeing<\/span><\/p>\n

Salt & pepper to taste<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Melt 2 T butter or EVOO in a large saucepan on medium heat.\u00a0 Add chopped onion and saute to translucent.\u00a0 Add chopped mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes more.<\/li>\n
  2. Add in chopped herbs and salt and pepper and stir mixture together.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Add broth and let simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Separate half of the soup mixture and place in blender or use an immersion blender to blitz for a thicker texture.\u00a0 Add back into soup pot. Taste for seasoning.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Stir in cream if using. Serve in soup bowls with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and a small float of EVOO.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This best mushroom recipe can also be used as a sauce for braising pork chops by simply reducing the broth by half.\u00a0 After searing your chops, place in a dutch oven and cover with wild mushroom sauce.\u00a0 Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.\u00a0 Serve with Wild Mushroom Pilaf or baked delicata squash\u00a0 for a delicious autumn meal.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
