<p>Not a vegetable not a fruit but actually from a family of fungus! Out of all the thousands of species of mushrooms found in the world, there are only a handful under 10 species that are commercial and edible. The most common edible mushrooms available in the United Kingdom, USA and Europe are the white button mushrooms.</p>

<p>Known as the plant of immortality during the Egyptian ancient times, mushrooms were solely reserved for royalty. The Pharaohs had this belief that mushrooms makes one ageless so commoners were banned from ever eating mushrooms let alone touch them. In the Roman Empire, mushrooms were reserved for high ranking warriors who were preparing for wars. The most famous belief was the super-strength warriors attained from eating mushrooms.</p>
<p>As delicious mushrooms are, they have never been popular with young children. I remember as a young girl picking out the mushrooms from my meals when no one was looking at the dinner table but as I grew older I started enjoying mushroom soups with salads for lunches. Unbelievably understated, the mushrooms can be eaten as part of all meals including breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Incredibly delicious and packed insanely with super health benefits that qualifies mushrooms a place on the table of super foods.</p>

It’s so easy to overlook mushrooms and realise they are actually very healthy. I should start eating more mushrooms now.
