HELPFUL HINT: All mushrooms are versatile ingredients but portobello mushrooms are an excellent choice for all those wanting to reduce meat and animal protein from their diets. By adding portobellos to your diet, you help increase your fiber intake and lower your risk for heart disease, high cholesterol and digestive conditions. You can eat them like hamburgers, by grilling their caps, you can chop them up and use them instead of meat in meat sauces, or add them to pizzas, soups or fajitas. So, next time you get a hankering for a cheese snack or a wedge of chicken parm, head to the produce section and buy some portobellos instead!
