CSIRO researcher Dr Damien Belobrajdic and nutritionist Dr Falvia Fayet-Moore (NRAUS) are each advancing the case of mushrooms as a super food through research and advocacy.
We know mushrooms are healthy, but to inspire and promote their wider use in the food industry, evidence is required. Australian research is providing this evidence by showing that the mechanisms by which mushrooms help lower cholesterol is akin to that of oats.
But how can this help boost the Australian mushroom industry?
In this podcast, Damien discusses how his work with CSIRO (one of the first well-designed studies into mushroom’s cholesterol lowering properties world-wide) is the first step in achieving an FSANZ heath claim, and Flavia makes the case that mushrooms exemplify the ‘food as medicine’ concept.
This podcast is part of the Hort Innovation funded project MU21003: Mushroom industry communications programme. It was funded through the Mushroom levy fund and contributions from the Australian Government.
