7. Just Add Mushrooms

Mushrooms are quick and simple to grow and turn tons of plant matter into usable compost instead of taking up space in a landfill, but that's far from the end of their charms.

From the fairy-sized strings of enoki to big meaty portobello caps, mushrooms are full of rich, savory umami flavor thanks to the amino acid glutamate. They're also a great low-calorie source of fiber, B vitamins, and selenium.
