Thinking of ways to eat raw mushrooms where you will enjoy the taste? Currently, we are in transition to an all raw diet, so we are trying out different raw dishes. These spicy wraps rolled with marinated mushrooms have a nice crunch from the walnuts and delectable taste. The spicy kick comes from the combination of herbs on the mustard green. They were perfect for tonights dinner, since we have been snacking on fruit all day. We both had three large leaves and they filled us up. Not to mention, our two sons (1 and 2) loved these as well. You can use any kind of green to switch up the flavor, but the mustard greens were definitely a hit. These can be also made into appetizers with smaller leaves or if you aren't raw you can roll them up with a tortilla. With the mustard greens you can just roll from the bottom up pressing in the sides like a burrito. (Tip - we flip the leaf over and thinly slice the stem off the back, which makes the leaf easier to roll).
Raw mushrooms are a great source Vitamin D, so if you aren't able to get much sun stock up on this meaty edible. Portobellos are a vegan favorite because of the texture and how the many ways they can be prepared. Just one (1) cup of portobello mushrooms a day provides the daily recommended selenium intake, which works to repair DNA and help your body produce its own antioxidants. The high amount of riboflavin present in the portobello contributes to cellular energy production and the iron and copper aid in hemoglobin synthesis, which is needed for transportation of oxygen through the blood. Portobellos also contain Vitamin B1, B6, D, folate, pantothentic acid, niacin, magnesium, manganese, iron, calcium, zinc and protein.
