In my last blog post I'd posted about auchan food market it was quite an experience shopping I'm a sort of person who is always curious to seek fresh produce in the grocery section I found fresh and wonderful oyster mushroom the korma turned out real good...I  also read that oyster mushrooms are good for health Oyster mushrooms are high in nutrients. According to a study published in "Food Chemistry," oyster mushrooms contain significant levels of zinc, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin C, folic acid, niacin, and vitamins B-1 and B-2. The study concluded that consuming oyster mushrooms as part of a healthy diet contributes to recommended nutritional requirements.
