At Baze, we believe food is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle and that supplements are an important supportive tool in your wellness toolkit. For certain nutrients, like vitamin D, supplements are a necessity for a large majority of people because there are not enough foods high in these essential nutrients.
Monterey Mushrooms has created the first ground-breaking solution to dietary intake of vitamin D. With mushrooms. We’re partnering with them to give you one more way you can optimize your vitamin D intake and status this winter.
Check out what our Health Professional Partners and Ambassadors have to say about ’em and how they incorporate mushrooms in their weekly menus.
“Roasting mushrooms is one of my favorite ways to prepare mushrooms. I love adding them to my salads. Roasting gives them a deep almost nutty flavor as well as a meaty texture.
Meghan Baron, RD, LDN, a Baze Health Professional Partner
When roasting mushrooms, you need a hot oven and want them to turn brown and caramelized in spots. I prefer to add salt after roasting. Salt can pull water out of the mushrooms causing them to steam rather than caramelize.”
“My husband loves mushrooms so I do incorporate them into meals. I dice them up really finely for tofu scrambles or if I’m making a plant-based burger the mushrooms get thrown in the food processor and then into the burger!”
