    Why You Should Eat Mushrooms

    Why should you make recipes with mushrooms? Well, besides the fact that the recipes on this list are deliciously satisfying, mushrooms are full of nutrients!

    There are several different types of mushrooms, and all mushrooms you find at the store should be safe to eat. Mushrooms used in the recipes on this list include portobello, baby bella, button, and king oyster mushrooms.

    Mushrooms contain plenty of fiber, antioxidants, B vitamins, and potassium. They can have several positive health affects that you can read about here.

    In vegan recipes, mushrooms are often used to replace meat due to their ability to provide a chewy texture and strong, somewhat meaty flavor.

    How to Store and Prepare Mushrooms

    After buying mushrooms from the store, keep them in the fridge (in a paper bag is best) and use them within one week. When you are ready to use them, wash the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or running them under water in a colander.

    Make sure you don't soak them in water because they will absorb too much moisture. When cleaning, be especially delicate if you are making any kind of stuffed mushroom because you won't want to break them.

    And of course cleaning and prep for mushrooms may vary based on the recipe, so if a recipe has specific preparation instructions, make sure you follow them!

    Vegan and Gluten-Free Mushroom Recipes

    All of the recipes on this list are vegan and gluten-free. Most of them are oil-free as well, and the ones that aren't can easily be made oil-free by using water or vegetable broth to sauté.
