5 Reasons Why We Love Jolly Mushrooms

As I have shared with you 5 Dishes Mush Masarap Dishes With Jolly Mushrooms, I realized how much we love mushrooms na. Parang tuwing mag iisip ako ng lulutuin, ang unang ingredients na naiisip ko is mushroom. Now I am more excited to cook for my family because of my new found kusina kakampi.

Keeping up with the theme from my last post, here are the 5 Reasons Why We Love Jolly Mushrooms:

Mush-delicious ang ulam. Tried and tested, mas naging malasa talaga ang ulam. My kids can’t get enough too. I have to be honest, they prefer the stem and pieces vs. whole mushrooms.

Jolly Mushrooms is versatile, parang kahit saan namin ilagay pwede. We add it to our pancit, with our sopas, sa ulam, and with our pasta. And you can even serve it on its own, add ka lang ng freshly ground pepper and salt, ulam na! TIP: If you want bigger mushroom, buy the biggest can, if you want smaller, buy the smaller one (smaller than 400 grams).

Readily available. Whenever I crave something, there’s always a can of Jolly Mushrooms sa pantry namin. So our grocery list is never complete without Jolly Mushrooms talaga. We usually buy Jolly Pieces and Stems Mushrooms kase yan na talaga ang madalas naming gamitin.

Jolly Mushrooms is a good fiber source. Fiber in our diet is very important, especially sa digestion natin. Adding mushrooms to our dishes assures me that we are getting additional fiber in our system.

Easy to prepare and cook. I guess this is the best thing about Jolly mushrooms. I love that it has easy to open can feature and I love how easy it is to cook. It does not add more cooking time sa aking pagluluto.

5 Different Christmas Ham Philippines You Can Buy This Holiday

Ham and Queso de bola. When I was a kid, I really don’t know why our Noche Buena and Media Noche is never complete without these two. Basta I know it’s a family tradition that I should keep. History suggests that the presence of ham or jamon in a gathering symbolizes feast. So tara, let’s make your Noche Buena a more festive one with the different ham offerings from Virginia:

5 Different Christmas Ham Philippines You Can Buy This Holiday

Pear-Shaped Chicken Ham

Let’s start our list with Pear shaped hams. If you love anything chicken, and prefers it more than anything else, Virginia Pear- Shaped Chicken Ham is a must this Holiday.

It’s less salty and more on sweet aroma and uniquely juicy flavor. It goes well with or without the pineapple glaze (but I always like my ham with glaze hehe). Virginia Pear- Shaped Chicken Ham is available in ready-to-serve 800g size.

Pear-Shaped Ham

This is the pork version of pear shaped ham. It is mildly season so you taste more than just meat. If you love flavorful ham, ito ang bagay sa’yo.

Virginia Pear-Shaped Ham is available in 3 different sizes. May 500 grams, 800 grams, and 1 kg. This is what we like most about Virginia hams, you can have it in different sizes. Kung kaunti lang kayo sa bahay, the 500 grams is perfect.

Virginia Brick Ham 

Because it looks like a brick! That is my guess too eh. This ham is coated in a specially made pineapple glaze giving it that sweet-sour pineapple flavor. This is available in ready-to-serve 500g size.

Season’s Delight Ham

We all have that favorite ham right? And out of all the 5 hams in this list, this is my personal favorite. Aside from it is round (which for me is what a ham should be), I really love its tender juicy, meaty and salty profile.

Kung mapapansin nyo, I really love using cloves on my ham. It adds aroma and flavor.

Virginia Season’s Delight Ham is a round shaped ham made from coarsely ground pork, blended with specially selected ingredients to bring out that tender-juicy mouthfeel and create a well-rounded sweet-salty meaty profile with a hint of sweet-sour pineapple taste. Available in read-to-serve 1kg size.

Jamon de Bola

Here is another round shaped ham with ground meats and spices. Jamon de Bola is coated with glaze and medyo sweet ang flavor. It also has this smoky- meaty flavor.

Jamon de Bola is available in ready-to-serve size of 1 KG.

Ready-To-Serve Hams

What does it mean when it says ready to serve? Meaning it is cooked and is ready to serve straight out of packaging. But I suggest reheating it para mas lumabas ang flavor. And also reheating it with glaze gives it more character. Always let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing so that the juice of the ham won’t come out.

HACK: You can re use your oven toaster to heat your ham. If ham is too big, cut it in half (upper part vs lower part). When you arrange in on your serving plate, no one will notice! I do that almost every year.

Where to buy Virginia Hams?

Virginia hams are available in their Factory outlets nationwide. Check which outlet is near you: VIRGINIA FOOD website

It is also available in leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide. Compare ham prices by logging at Virginia website: http://www.virginiafood.com.ph/Hams

Mush Pork Giniling 

This recipe is also from Jolly Eats FB Page, but instead of using whole mushrooms, I used yung Jolly pieces and stems variant. We love giniling with lots of veggies. When I tried adding mushroom, medyo nabigla ang mga kids but in the end, mas masarap daw!

Mush Egg Omelette

Instead of usual pork/ham on egg omelette, I decided to add Jolly Pieces and Stems Mushrooms . This one for me is the ultimate breakfast. This is what I usually prepare when my schedule is full and I need a heavy breakfast. It is packed with fiber and protein. A toast or fried rice is all it needs para game na game na magtrabaho si mommy.
