Tropical Wholefoods chanterelle mushrooms
Chanterelle mushrooms from Tropical Wholefoods are full of flavour!
Chanterelles contain vitamin C and some vitamin D, which is great news for all the vegans that live in colder climates! They are also high in beta-carotene, which is unusual for a mushroom, and they're full of potassium.
Chanterelle mushrooms are collected, carefully sorted and dried by farmers in the Miombo woodlands of Zambia. Selling the mushrooms brings in a household income, and helps preserve the woodlands because people recognise the value of forest produce.
Columbian coffee farmers cultivate Tropical Wholefoods Oyster and shiitake mushrooms on the waste matter left over from coffee production. The mushroom sales supplement their income from coffee. So enjoy these delicious mushrooms knowing they are good for you, the enviroment and the communities that produce them.
The taste
Chanterelles are prized for their flavour. They are quite rare because they're so popular. They taste a bit nutty, and a little bit spicy when eaten raw. It goes well with apricot, creamy flavours, onions and olive oil.
What to do with chanterelles
Once you've soaked them for five minutes, you can use them like ordinary mushrooms.
Try adding them to a raw, warm, soup before blending. Pop them into a "fried mushroom" mix of fresh chopped mushrooms, garlic
himalayan salt and olive oil, that you then dehydrate in a dehydrator for an hour or two.
Without soaking, blend them to a fine powder in your VitaPrep and then add some to raw chocolates. You will be surprised by the joy this will give you!
Add to casseroles, stews, pies and anywhere else you'd use normal mushrooms.
