✨GOLDEN OYSTER MUSHROOMS✨ aren't they just beautiful? I try to eat a few servings of different kinds of locally grown mushrooms each week (from @bluffcityfungi at @cyfarmersmarket if you're in #memphis). Different mushrooms have different beneficial compounds and oyster mushrooms are rich in #ergothioneine, which I just read a paper call a "most unusual amino acid with substantial #antioxidant efficacy" and which "appears to be an important physiologic cytoprotectant which probably merits designation as a vitamin." (PMID: 19911007). # I like to slice and sautee in some good EVOO with salt and pepper, maybe some garlic or shallots, and use them as a topping on a #CongeeBowl. They're also delicious just served as a side with whatever else you're eating. I treat mushrooms like steak: they really don't need much done to them and they each have incredibly interesting flavor profiles worthy of savoring. # If you don't have a local mushroom farmer, you can be your own! You can order kits to grow mushrooms in your own home. #oystermushrooms #paleofood #memphisfoodie #mushrooms🍄 #paleolifestyle #aip #wahlsprotocol (at Memphis, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BorWr6-B78l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11rqxxhqmpz3q
