About Homemade cornstarch base gravy with mushrooms

Homemade Cornstarch Base Gravy with Mushrooms is a versatile, flavorful addition to many dishes, often associated with comfort food and classic American cuisine. Made with fresh mushrooms, low-sodium broth, and thickened with cornstarch, this gravy provides a lighter alternative to traditional flour-based options while maintaining a smooth texture. Mushrooms add earthy richness, along with nutrients like selenium and potassium, which support immune health and blood pressure. The cornstarch base reduces fat content compared to cream-based or butter-heavy gravies, making it a more heart-healthy choice. However, sodium levels can vary depending on the broth used, so opting for a reduced-sodium option can enhance its health appeal. Perfect for serving over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or protein dishes, this gravy strikes a balance between indulgence and lighter preparation, offering a satisfying yet mindful way to elevate your meals.
