　　Every time you go shopping, the vegetables and fruit look so attractive that you wish you could buy all of them. Some people are lucky and can grow the fruit and vegetables in the gardens that they have. While getting fresh vegetables, they can also achieve great cost­cutting.

　　Mushrooms can be added to any dish that you cook. Simply use them in pizza, salad and anything that you pretty much want. Grow mushrooms in your own house and use them whenever you want to. Fresh mushrooms are tastier than the ones that are stored in your refrigerator.

Simply pick them, slice them and put them on a cookie sheet in a freezer. When they are frozen, just put them in a zip lock and you can use them when you want to. They give a really great taste to the dish that you are making. Thaw (解冻) them before you use them.
