Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Organic Grown Mushrooms

	Organic growers are held to strict growing and processing rules and regulations, and as such they generally produce more nutritious mushrooms. Certified organic mushrooms are composted in a healthier environment, or substrate, than other commercially grown or wild mushrooms. The mushrooms’ spawn and final casing, or covering, is also healthier, creating tasty mushrooms that are full of nutrients.
