Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms have a delicate, mild, and slightly sweet flavor with a hint of umami, often described as subtly seafood-like. In the kitchen, they are versatile and can be sautéed, roasted, grilled, or added to stir-fries, soups, pasta dishes, and risottos. Oyster mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins (especially niacin and riboflavin), as well as minerals like copper, potassium, and iron. Their bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans and ergothioneine, are known for antioxidant, immune-supporting, and cholesterol-lowering properties.
