June 28, 2014- Last year, Washington, D.C. Hosted the first annual Mushrooms and Health Summit. The idea behind the summit was to bring all of the foremost experts on mushrooms together in order to consolidate all of the compelling research and information together to present a single, unified statement: eating mushrooms is good for you.

It's a statement that many of us knew already. However, experts agree that not nearly enough individuals are aware of the health benefits of eating mushrooms daily. The Mushbox is attempting to change this trend by providing the elements necessary to cultivate mushrooms at your own home. The Mushbox is a leading provider of quality Mushroom kits, Magic Mushrooms spores, and more to help you take advantage of this highly nutritional super food.

"Mushrooms can be easily incorporated into just about any meal because of their ability to take on the flavors of the other ingredients in the dish," says the founder of the Mushbox. "Mushrooms are most easily blended into meat based dishes because their texture most resembles ground beef."

As a matter of fact, many people already use mushrooms in the meat sauces they make to accompany many pasta dishes, but did you know that you can substitute mushrooms a portion of meat with finely chopped mushrooms in order to lower the calorie content and increase the nutritional content of your meals without compromising flavor or texture. Ideally, when blending mushrooms into a meat dish, the perfect substitution ratio allows you to substitute half of the ground beef used in your meal with finely minced mushrooms.

"This type of substitution has become so popular that many restaurants and food professionals have begun offering the mushroom-blended entrees as an alternative to their traditional meat entrees," explains the Mushbox founder. "This is why we decided to get into the mushroom business. We wanted to give people an opportunity to begin using home grown mushrooms in their own cooking as a way of bringing about a greater awareness of the nutritional benefits of mushrooms."

Of course, for those who aren't ready to take on the responsibility of growing their own mushrooms, you can still purchase some common varieties in your local grocery store and health food outlets. However, growing mushrooms at home is not as difficult as you might think. With the grow kits and helpful know-how of the professionals at the Mushbox, you can grow your own mushrooms at home easily for home use and even for profit.
