Mostly Asian or Chinese loves to use mushroom in their cooking.A good grade mushroom can cost over hundred of dollar a pound.Recently I bought 2 box of brown button mushroom on sale.I try to identified the exact name of this mushroom.I google and found this info:Crimini Mushrooms are similar to Button mushrooms in size and texture. They are light to dark brown in color. The Crimini mushroom is a bit more firmer than the Button mushroom and a more intense meaty and earthy flavoring. The Crimini mushroom is used in the same cooking methods as the button mushroom and is a good substitute for the button mushroom for a more intense flavoring.
I love mushroom and can eat mushroom daily but hubby called mushroom as FUNGUS!! He won't eat anything cook with mushroom!! He keep asking me how can I eat fungus !! Well,I told him we Chinese eat everything !! Furthermore,mushrooms have a lot of good nutritional values and would be a good addition to a healthy, balanced diet. The range of traditional nutrients found in crimini mushrooms is equally impressive.Crimini mushrooms are an excellent source of many minerals including selenium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc. They are also an excellent source of B vitamins including vitamin B2, pantothenic acid and niacin. In addition, crimini mushrooms are a very good source of vitamin B1, vitamin B6 , zinc, manganese and protein.
