Mushrooms

This fungus takes the fruit structure for consumption. The fruit grows in a wide variety - from edible to poisonous, and extremely poisonous varieties. However, the edible variety is grown in a controlled environment to grow with any traces of interactions.

Certain individuals may still experience mild forms of allergies from mushrooms just like nuts, soy, gluten, or lactose.

There are various varieties of mushrooms now grown commercially to maintain the toxicity in check. Hence one must always consume the store-bought variety.

China leads the world production of Mushrooms and its various common and exotic varieties. In 2019, China recorded production of 11.9 million tonnes of Truffle which is approximately 75% of the global total.

In the mainland UK, you can find mushroom types such as oyster, shiitake, truffle, maitake, porcini, chanterelle, and morel are some of the commonly available varieties. Top-notch quality truffles are also available in Save Co Bradford.

Peas

Pea is a pulse that comes in a pod, is consumed as a vegetable, and is categorised in the fruit family. The plant is grown in colder climates in many parts of the world. Since the crop grows for a few months in a year, the seeds aka peas are packed away in bags preserved to be available all year long.

The history of peas takes us back to 2000 BC in Afghanistan, the Harappan civilization (now Pakistan), and India. Later peas reached many parts of the world and made special appearances in royal menus.

China is by far the largest producer of the fruit. India, the USA, France, and Egypt follow closely to meet the global consumption needs.

Peas are used as a hero of the dish in pea soup, pea dip, cheese and pea balls, pea pesto, and risotto. You can also add them to smoothies and beverages for their distinct taste and nutritional value.

Beans

Beans are a large part of the food group. Small, and modest, the food was most overlooked until recently.

The food is high in fibre, iron, potassium, magnesium, and protein. Beans mostly contain little or no calories.

They are added to food in various forms. Some beans are cooked as the hero of the recipe such as fresh green beans, guar, French beans, papdi, and drumstick beans. These beans are made with potatoes or other vegetables in a curry to consume with fresh chapati or boiled rice.

There are various other beans such as kidney beans, coco beans, black turtle beans, moth beans, black eye beans, whole beans (moong), urid daal, urid daal white, and lupin beans.

They make an excellent nutrition pack snack for afternoons when you don’t want to spend time cooking. On the flip side, you are eating protein-rich food which has absolutely no calories.

You can also add beans on the side with other protein such as French beans with steak, green beans in salad or ramen, or moth beans cooked with rice.

Beans slow-cooked with herbs and seasonings make delicious and appetising soups. They suffice for a meal and add instantly to overall health.

At Save Co Bradford, we stock a large variety of beans from all over the world. You can find canned, bottled, and packaged beans from various brands under one roof.

Sweet potato, parsnip, radish, celery, garlic, ginger, beets, yams, turnip, fennel, celeriac, carrot, turmeric, arrowroot, cassava, rhizome, and rutabaga are often used in cooking.

They are used in various creative ways – soups, broths, gravy, curry, pasta, risotto, pie, casserole, and whatnot.
