Chestnut
(
Pholiota adiposa)
The lesser known Chestnut mushroom is an oft-missed, delicious gourmet mushroom. The nutty flavor adds a subtle flavor to your dish, while the unique texture can remain slightly crunchy when flash sautéed or they can be softened tenderly by longer cooking times.
Great in soups, spring rolls, or as salad toppings! Anywhere their nutty flavor and flexible texture uses can round out the perfect dish!
A good source of dietary fiber, manganese, protein, iron, and B and D vitamins, the polysaccharides of the Chestnut are studied intensely for their tumor-inhibiting properties as well as their anti-microbial properties.
