What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Mushrooms are good"
Answer
In the writings of Ellen G. White, mushrooms are not explicitly highlighted as a food group in their own right, but they fall under the general recommendation for a plant-based diet. According to the quotations, a healthy diet should consist primarily of grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, simply prepared and easy to digest. Since each person’s body responds differently, it is important to use common sense and observe which foods agree with your body. There is no rigid rule for everyone, as certain legumes, for example, may be nourishing for one person and difficult to digest for another. Ultimately, food should be nourishing and should not overburden the digestive organs.
Principles for a Healthy Diet
»For those who can use them, good vegetables, prepared in a healthful way, are better than soft porridges. Fruit eaten with well-baked bread that is two or three days old is healthier than fresh bread. This, together with slow and thorough chewing, will provide all that the body needs.«
»All who come to my table are welcome, but I set no meat before them. Grains, vegetables, and fresh and preserved fruit make up our table fare. At present we have plenty of the finest oranges and lemons. This is the only fresh fruit we can get at this time of year...«
»In the use of foods, we should exercise good, sound common sense. If we find that a certain food does not agree with us, we need not write letters to find out the cause of the disturbance. Change the diet; use less of some foods; try other preparations. Soon we will know what effect certain combinations have on us.«
»One person cannot be a standard for another in matters of eating. It is impossible to make a rule that everyone must follow. There are members of my family who are very fond of beans, while beans are poison to me... There will always be a variety of foods provided that are simple, healthful, and palatable.«
»Nuts and nut products are increasingly used as substitutes for meat dishes. Grains, fruits, and some roots may be combined with nuts to prepare foods that are healthful and nourishing. Care should be taken, however, not to use too large a proportion of nuts.«
- Plant-based diet
- Individual food tolerance

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
