Good for your health
Mushrooms are considered very healthy. They have very few calories, but are still high in fibre and are an important source of key vitamins and minerals.
We generally eat far too many calories, and a food that is delicious but low in calories, like mushrooms, can help change that. The dietary fibre in mushrooms also helps promote good bowel function and leaves you feeling more satisfied, so you won’t be hungry again as quickly. Your body needs vitamins and minerals every day to stay in shape and keep functioning at its best. It would not be overstating the situation to say that the super-veggie mushroom should be an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.
