King Trumpet mushrooms, also known as Pleurotus eryngii or "French horn" mushrooms, are a prized ingredient in many cuisines due to their meaty texture and savory umami flavor. Originally cultivated in East Asia and the Mediterranean region, they have gained global popularity for their versatility in dishes like stir-fries, soups, and pasta. King Trumpets are low in calories and fat, making them a guilt-free addition to meals. Rich in antioxidants, they may support cellular health and boost the immune system. They contain fiber for digestion, B vitamins for energy, and minerals such as potassium, which promotes heart health. While they are considered generally healthy, moderation is key as some recipes may call for added fats during preparation, which can increase calorie content. King Trumpets are excellent for plant-based diets, offering a satisfying texture that mimics meat.
