Described at vegetable meat, they have a pleasing flavour and can be enjoyed stuffed, marinated, fried, grilled or baked. The mushroom is a versatile and essential ingredient to many dishes. Amazing in an omelette or added to pasta, a perfect ingredient in risotto and soup, sliced thinly as a pizza topping or simply fried with onions in a stir-fry. Or raw – chopped or sliced in a salad. Don’t spoil these wonderful creatures by peeling, gently wipe clean instead – they deserve it!

* Like us, not all fruit or vegetables are perfectly formed. We don’t believe in discriminating against misshapen carrots or imperfect potatoes and in fact, love them for their flaws. A less than round apple is still as tasty as their perfectly formed cousins. Unless your produce is clearly defective, please accept them as Nature intended.
