March is National Nutrition Month and The Mushroom Council, a group of U.S. mushroom growers, is celebrating with a Twitter Party! National Nutrition Month is the perfect time to “get your plate in shape,” and adding mushrooms to the menu can help you do just that. Increasing the intake of lower calorie foods, specifically mushrooms, in place of those higher in calories, such as ground beef, can be an effective method for reducing calories and fat while still feeling full and satisfied after a meal. This approach of replacing some meat with mushrooms is known as “swapability.” The mushroom and meat “swapability” technique is an economical way to make family meals more nutritious and works great in family favorites such as lasagna, burgers, tacos and chili. Join us March 12th to learn more about this technique including delicious recipes to try, chat with registered dietitian Elizabeth Ward, and have a chance to win great prizes! I hope to see you at the…
When: Monday, March 12th from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ET
Where: #Mushrooms tag on Twitter
