Excellent chemical free mushrooms…
Excellent chemical free mushrooms delivered neatly packed, smooth transaction every time. The mushrooms are always fresh and delicious. I also really appreciate the variety of mushrooms I can order from Merit Mushrooms and the variety is important for not only culinary reasons but also health wise. Different types of mushrooms offer different health benefits, although I mainly pay attention to variety because it is beneficial for microbiome. Each type of mushroom feeds different beneficial bacteria in the gut and more varieties of mushrooms equal more types of good bacteria fed. I heard one should aim to consume at least 5 different types of mushrooms per week and the same goes for fermented foods. My personal favourites are nameko and maitake mushrooms. Nameko is very delicious in miso soup and maitake, when sautéed in butter they have a flavour of wild mushrooms from the forest. Tasty added anywhere. Great in sauce with fried onions, crème fraiche (should not be heated), salt, pepper, fresh goat or sheep cheese can be added too, plus parsley, last two optional and poured over boiled potatoes. Potatoes can be even cold, more inulin that way.
In addition, I appreciate that mushrooms fresh and dried are packed in cardboard boxes and paper / paper bags with minimal use of plastic in the packaging.
Great company, highly recommended.
