Increasing Vitamin D with Mushrooms
One surprising way to increase your vitamin D intake is with Monterey Mushrooms®. Commercially grown mushrooms are typically grown in the dark, but Monterey Mushrooms has developed a process that mimics sun exposure and results in mushrooms that are high in vitamin D. Monterey Mushrooms® teamed up with the U.S Department of Agriculture to replicate vitamin D-rich sunlight indoors. Vitamin D is produced from cholesterol in the skin when it is exposed to rays from the sun, which is why it is sometimes referred to as “the sunshine vitamin.” Similar to humans, mushrooms can make vitamin D when exposed to sunshine
MontereyMushrooms high vitamin D mushrooms provide 400 IUs (10 mcg) which is 50% DV per serving. A mushroom serving is about 5 medium mushrooms – so eating just 10 mushrooms a day gives you 100% of FDA’s daily value recommendation of vitamin D.
Monterey Mushrooms® doesn’t use any additives, supplements, or chemicals to manipulate the nutrition of their mushrooms. Now, through exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, Monterey Mushrooms can naturally increase the stable level of vitamin D within mushrooms to well above 50 percent of the FDA’s recommended daily value.

How to Make Mushroom vegan Tacos (blackstone Version)
Start by preparing the Blackstone. Ensure the surface is cleaned, smooth and all the olive oil has burned off. Then, place the Portabella Caps on the griddle and coat in olive oil. On low heat, cook 3-5 minutes per side.
Produce Mom TIP: The mushroom caps will soak up a lot of olive oil. Be sure the portabella cap has plenty of olive oil so that it can become soft.
Next, transfer the portabellas to a bowl. Pull them apart with two forks to get that authentic ‘pulled’-look.
Once in the bowl, add in the taco seasoning and mix.
Finally, assemble your tacos with your choice of toppings.
