Dr. Oz and Mushrooms: Shrooms for Good Health
Of, course, we shorten the word, mushroom, with shrooms…
Finally, Dr. Oz had a guest expert talk about the health benefits of mushrooms on the show today.
First came Button Mushrooms, the most familiar with members of the audience and the most commonly found in the stores. Yes, there are nutrients in shrooms…
Then came cremini mushrooms which becoming more common. They tend to be ‘meatier’ in dishes and when they have grown up, they can be used like a platform for toppings with their sturdy structure.
Then maitake were discussed briefly. But Dr. Oz and his guest forgot the most valuable shrooms for health and wellness. Shi’itake should have been featured in the segment.
