Rethinking Mushrooms: Why This SUPER Food Is Great for Your Health and the Real “sustainability” of This Planet

AHA Publisher — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 07:25:17 +0000

Damon Hines via NaturalHealth365 – Our ancient ancestors documented the health benefits of mushrooms as early as 200 or 250 CE in the book The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica, a fundamental text on Chinese wellness practices, medicinal plants, and agriculture. From China’s Reishi mushroom, which is known for its immune-supporting properties, to Finland’s Chaga mushroom, it supports antioxidant pathways, the health benefits and ecological and culinary potential of fungi are as diverse as the number of species that dot the forest floor. But our relationship with mushrooms is complicated. For every semi-obsessed forager scouring the woods for wild chanterelles, there are those who are wary of mushrooms and don’t like the idea of eating fungus. Perhaps they’re worried they’ll get poisoned, or maybe that slimy mushroom pizza experience they had as a child forever ruined the food for them. Nevertheless, it’s time to reconsider the mushroom, not just because fungi are gentle on the planet and the great recyclers of the natural world but also because they can be the sustainable superfood of the future. Mushrooms Are Healthy on the Plate and Gentle on the Planet According to a 2017 study by SureHarvest, to grow and harvest a pound of fresh mushrooms in the U.S. requires only 1.8 gallons of water, 1.0-kilowatt-hours of energy, and generates only 0.7 pounds of CO2 equivalent emissions. In woods and forests, mushrooms break down organic material and create healthy soil by making its raw materials available again for the ecosystem. Mushrooms might be the earth’s most sustainable food, but it’s not the only thing that makes them super. Mushrooms are packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, including vitamin D, vitamin B6, folate magnesium, zinc, and potassium. Fungi are rich in antioxidants such as ergothioneine and selenium, reducing inflammation and improving immune function. Coming in different shapes, sizes, and colors, mushrooms are a gastronomically versatile, low-carb, practically no-fat food that can replace meat as a main course or work as a side-dish. Are People Finally Getting Out of That Slimy Mushroom Pizza Mind-Set? There are more than 2,000 edible mushrooms in the world, but 90 percent of the fungi people cook are the cultivated basic Portobello and white buttons. Classics like Shiitake are also popular. However, food trends are changing, and fungi-inspired companies fill a new niche with alternatives to conventional mushrooms. A heightened interest in foraging and locally-sourced ingredients coupled with an aversion to tech meat (Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, etc.) has done wonders for the reputation of the mushroom, turning it from culinary curiosity to mainstream star. Generally speaking, consumers are more comfortable with this weird organism, finding that it’s easy and versatile to cook and respecting the fact that responsible cultivators use timber waste that would otherwise end up in landfills to sprout their mushrooms. Whether you’re buying local, foraging for native varieties, or sprouting your own at home with a grow kit (Smallhold is a well-recognized brand in organic mushroom grow kits), the health benefits mushrooms provide are as complex as the ecosystem from which they come.

Fish Taco Recipe

AHA Publisher — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 08:00:55 +0000

Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DMN, CNS – Taco night just got super delicious and healthy with my Fish Taco Recipe … on lettuce wraps! Not to mention quick — these tacos take only about 25 minutes to prepare, making them a great choice for a weeknight meal. Plus they’re both Paleo-friendly and gluten-free. They’re also an ideal macronutrient meal, with 43 grams of carbohydrates, 34 grams of protein and 26 grams of fat per serving. These will keep you satisfied for a while! Fish tacos originated in Baja California, Mexico, and the wild-caught fish (not farm-raised fish!) is traditionally battered, fried and served on a corn tortilla with a sour-cream–based sauce and all the toppings. They’re delicious, but I’ve found a way to make these tacos delicious and good for you. Think crispy, pan-fried, seasoned fish on a cool, fresh lettuce wrap, topped with crunchy and flavorful veggies and an Avocado Cream Sauce. Is your mouth watering yet? Fish might not be your first choice when you’re thinking taco night, but it’s actually a perfect protein for tacos because it’s so versatile and easy to cook. And, of course, it’s one of the best omega-3 foods you can eat. For the best wild-caught fish, I personally like cod, halibut or mahi mahi for my fish tacos. How to Make Fish Tacos To get started, fire up your cutting board. For this fish taco recipe, you’re going to prep all the toppings first. You can chop, dice, shred or grate the veggies — however you like them best. Prep the purple cabbage, bell peppers, cilantro and red onion. Trying to eat by color? This meal covers them all! And don’t forget the jicama, the funny-sounding root vegetable that’s seriously packed with fiber and vitamin C. Throw all the veggies in a bowl and pour the juice of 4 limes over the top. Toss the veggies to coat them in the juice. Lastly, wash and separate the leaves of a head of butter or romaine lettuce. Then set your lettuce wraps and rainbow of veggies to the side. Next you’re going to chop up your fish into bite-size pieces and place it in a shallow dish. In another, small dish, mix together the spice rub for the fish: cumin, garlic powder, and if you’d like it spicy, cayenne pepper or chipotle seasoning. Sprinkle the spice mix over the fish and toss the pieces a bit to be sure all the fish is coated. Then you’ll set this aside to marinate a bit while you make the Avocado Cream Sauce. This fish taco recipe isn’t complete without the sauce. You’ll combine the nutrition-rich cashews, lime juice, garlic, salt and jalapeño (again, if you like it spicy!) to a high-powered blender and puree. Add just enough water to help the mixture blend. Then, add your avocados and blend again until the sauce is creamy. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Now on to the fish! Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add a tablespoon of grapeseed oil and your fish. Make sure the fish is in a single layer and not sticking to the skillet, then cover it and set your timer for 5 minutes. Peek under the lid every minute or so and stir the fish around to make sure it gets fried and crispy on all sides. Just be gentle — you don’t want the fish to fall apart. Once the fish is done, you’re ready to assemble the tacos. To make the fish tacos, start with a lettuce leaf, add the fish and veggies, then top with a dollop of Avocado Cream Sauce. If you insist on a real taco, then go with an organic corn variety for an authentic experience. Olé!

They’re delicious, but I’ve found a way to make these tacos delicious and good for you. INGREDIENTS Fish Taco ¼ purple cabbage, shredded 1 medium jicama, peeled and grated 2 red, orange, or yellow bell peppers, sliced or diced 1 red onion, diced ½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped juice of 4 limes 1½ pounds cod, halibut or mahi mahi 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon cayenne or chipotle (optional) 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 head romaine or butter lettuce, washed and separated Avocado Cream Sauce ¼ cup cashews (soaked for 20 minutes before) ⅓ cup lime juice 2 cloves garlic ¼ teaspoon salt 1 jalapeño (optional) water to blend 2 ripe avocados INSTRUCTIONS Start by preparing all of the vegetables. In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage, jicama, bell peppers, onions and cilantro. In a medium bowl, toss the vegetables with the lime juice. Set aside. Chop the fish into bite-sized pieces and place it in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, garlic powder and cayenne or chipotle if desired. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the fish and set it aside to allow it to marinate while you make the Avocado Cream Sauce. Add the drained cashews, lime juice, garlic, salt and jalapeño to a high-powered blender and blend well, adding only enough water to facilitate blending. Add the avocados and puree. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and then the fish. Cover and cook 5–7 minutes, stirring every few minutes to ensure the fish is cooked on all sides. Remove the fish to a serving bowl. To construct the tacos, start with a lettuce leaf, add fish and veggie toppings, and finish with avocado cream sauce. NOTES If you’re still wanting to have a taco with this delicious fish and sauce, choose an organic corn tortilla for the best authentic experience. To read the original article click here.
