Mushrooms: A Local Treasure for Health & Flavor

Mushrooms have long been celebrated for their unique flavors, but they are also nutritional powerhouses. From boosting immunity to providing essential vitamins and minerals, mushrooms offer a wealth of health benefits. At Raspberrys Catering & Bistro, we’re thrilled to showcase mushrooms sourced from local producer Ironwood Mycology, integrating them into our dishes in creative and delicious ways.

Why Mushrooms?

Mushrooms are a natural source of B vitamins, selenium, and antioxidants. They’re also known for their immune-boosting properties and are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D—making them an excellent addition to your diet, especially during the colder months when sun exposure is limited.

The varieties we use at Raspberrys not only elevate the flavors of our dishes but also contribute to your well-being. Mushrooms are low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with nutrients that support brain and heart health.

Partnering with Ironwood Mycology

We’re proud to source many of our mushrooms from Ironwood Mycology, a local producer based right here in Idaho. Ironwood’s dedication to sustainable growing practices means we’re serving mushrooms that are not only fresh but also responsibly cultivated. Their expertise allows us to incorporate unique varieties like lion’s mane, oyster, and shiitake into our menu.

These specialty mushrooms are known for their medicinal properties:

• Lion’s Mane: Renowned for its ability to support cognitive function and nervous system health.

• Oyster Mushrooms: A great source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, known to reduce inflammation.

• Shiitake Mushrooms: Rich in polysaccharides that support the immune system and heart health.

It starts with a base of soft, chewy flatbread, spread with creamy whipped ricotta. Oven-roasted tomatoes add a burst of sweetness, complemented by the aromatic blend of garlic, rosemary, and thyme.

Veggie: A Garden-Fresh Symphony

Vegetarian options never have to be boring, and our Veggie sandwich proves just that. This sandwich is all about fresh, vibrant flavors, starting with pickled avocado for a tangy twist. We add dill havarti cheese for a creamy, herby kick, then layer on crunchy cucumbers, radish, and carrots, along with a generous handful of sprouts. Tied together with our herb aioli and served on our house-made herbed focaccia, this sandwich is as refreshing as it is satisfying—a true celebration of garden-fresh ingredients.

Bacon: A Flavorful Classic with a Twist

Bacon lovers, this one’s for you. Our Bacon sandwich is anything but ordinary, starting with our signature seanracha bacon, which brings a touch of heat and smokiness.
