Mushrooms are great because they can be used in such a variety of dishes but you might not be eating quite enough for them to count as one of those important five.

You may think that by chucking a couple in a sandwich or a stir-fry you're getting all you need, but you actually have to eat a whopping 14 button mushrooms, or three handfuls of sliced mushrooms for them to count as one portion. Don't let that put you off though, we've got lots of delicious mushroom recipes for you to make at home, so why not give one of these a try:

Chicken and mushroom pie
Mushroom pesto and spinach lasagne
Stuffed mushroom burgers
Garlic mushroom pasta bake

Next portion: Carrots
