Mushrooms are also a good source of riboflavin and are the only vegetable in the produce section with natural Vitamin D. All that goodness with little calories and fat. *

Mushroom Facts

Wood ear mushroom

With their thin, gray-brown to black color and rubbery texture, wood ear mushrooms are not like your standard white or brown mushrooms. Wood ear will only grow on wood. They can be found on living trees or dead wood, but if a live tree has wood ear on it, it's a sign that the tree is most likely dying since the fungus (mushroom) is decomposing some of the tree tissue.

With no caps or stems, the wood ear mushroom, which is sometimes called cloud ear, tree ear or black fungus, is most commonly sold dried and is popular in Asian cooking. You can reconstitute dried mushrooms and then add them to soups or stir fries but my favourite is in salads. Their crunchy texture and dark, velvety color add an unusual element to even the most basic dish.

Salmon Facts

Over 70 per cent of the world鈥檚 wild fish stocks have been depleted due to over fishing and therefore, farming fish has become a necessity

-By 2030, over 60 per cent of our seafood will be farmed

-All of the Atlantic salmon we buy at the supermarket is farmed due to depleted wild stocks

-Salmon are carnivores (in the wild they eat other fish); however, in aquaculture it is not environmentally sustainable to harvest wild fish to feed farmed fish, as it depletes wild fish stocks

-Today, a majority of the ingredients in salmon feed are plant-based and new ingredients are being tested that have the best source of nutrition for the fish and for consumers

Poultry Facts

If a new born human  grew as fast as a broiler chicken, an 8 lbs baby would be 80 lbs  in two weeks.

One commercial laying hen can supply enough eggs (325) for 1.4 Canadians each year (per capita consumption of 239).   

You can keep chickens as natural control for ticks, however they are not as ravenous for ticks as their rock star cousins the Guinea Fowl which when allowed outside will consume a diet consisting of 90 per cent bugs.

Recipes

Golden Oyster Mushroom, & Goat Cheese Strudel

One 15" x 6" strudel

13 x 9-inch sheet of puff pastry dough
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 3/4 pounds Oyster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1lbs Baby spinach Leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 large shallot, minced
2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and pressed
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Method:

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet until it measures 15 by 12 inches. Cut the rolled sheet in half lengthwise so each half measures 15 x 6 inches.
2. Place each sheet in the center of a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or wrap with plastic and refrigerate for longer storage, up to 2 days.
3. Heat a large saut茅 pan over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and then the mushrooms. Saut茅 the mushrooms for 5 minutes or until they begin to exude their juice. Add the thyme, spinach, shallot and garlic then season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are lightly golden and the juices are dry, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Spread on a sheet to cool either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
4. Remove one tray of puff pastry from the refrigerator. Distribute the cooled mushrooms down the center of the pastry sheet. Leave an inch of space around the perimeter of the pastry sheet. Top the mushrooms with thin slices of goat cheese. Brush the border lightly with egg wash.
5. Remove the second sheet of puff pastry from the refrigerator and dust lightly with flour. Working quickly, fold the sheet in half lengthwise. Use a sharp knife to cut slits in the pastry at 1/2 inch intervals. Cut them within one inch of the unfolded edge to form a border around the slits when the sheet is opened.
6. Fold the sheet in half again crosswise and lay it down over 1/4 of the strudel with the folded half on top. Flip the pastry so that it covers half the strudel lengthwise but is still folded in half lengthwise then unfold the pastry lengthwise to cover the strudel. Bring the edges of the top sheet of dough to meet the edges of the bottom sheet and arrange the slits so that they are evenly spaced. Press down on the 1-inch border with a fork to seal the strudel. Refrigerate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator uncovered, or well-wrapped for overnight storage.
