The Mushroom Bureau is giving one lucky mushroom lover the chance to bag themselves a beautiful Le Creuset dish worth almost £90! It gives you a great excuse to cook up some scrumptious stews and the like, including immune boosting mushrooms.
Research carried out at Tufts University in Massachusetts found that a diet of mushrooms may promote innate immunity – the body’s first line of defence – against viruses. Mushrooms are also a potent source of antioxidants and are packed with B vitamins and the essential minerals potassium, selenium and copper; they are low in fat and calories and their high water and fibre content makes them a filling and satisfying ingredient in any meal; and they contribute to our 5-a-day, helping to keep us healthy and feeling virtuous.
Boosting immunity through the diet is a simple and cost effective measure that everyone can follow. Why not try one of leading nutritionist Sarah Schenker’s recipes: Prawn Mushroom and Spinach Curry, Crunchy Warm Mushroom Salad or Crunchy Mushroom Pilaf.
To be in with a chance of winning this Le Creuset casserole dish simply answer the following question and fill in the form below. Closing date for entries is 11 December 2009.
