全国蘑菇月
这种不起眼的蘑菇可能生长在一些黑暗、隐蔽的地方,但现在是它成为焦点的时候了。在美国,每年的九月都庆祝国家蘑菇月。就在那时,蘑菇理事会,一个商业蘑菇生产商组织,利用这个机会,向人们传授所有神奇的真菌所能提供的特别是营养益处。蘑菇长期以来一直与健康联系在一起。事实上,早期罗马人将蘑菇称为“神的食物”,象形文字表明古埃及人将蘑菇与不朽联系在一起。在现代,我们了解到蘑菇是维生素和抗氧化剂的强大来源。你最喜欢哪种蘑菇?
原文:
The humble mushroom may grow in some dark, hidden places, but this is its time in the spotlight. National Mushroom Month is celebrated each year in the month of September in the United States. That’s when the Mushroom Council, a group of commercial mushroom producers, takes advantage of the opportunity to educate people on all that fabulous fungi have to offer—especially the nutritional benefits. Mushrooms have long been associated with good health. In fact, early Romans referred to mushrooms as 'food of the gods' and hieroglyphics suggest that ancient Egyptians linked the mushroom to immortality. In modern times, we've learned that mushrooms are a powerful source of vitamins and antioxidants. Which type of mushroom is your favorite?
