NUTRITION THAT’S FRESH FROM THE FARM
A half-cup serving of cooked sliced mushrooms has a mere 14 calories, virtually no fat, 1 gram of fibre and is a source of phosphorus, potassium, copper, selenium, niacin and pantothenic acid. Mushrooms are also a good source of riboflavin, and are the only vegetable in the produce section with natural Vitamin D. All that goodness with little calories and fat.
Recent studies also show that mushrooms can help with:
- Weight Management
- Blood Pressure
- Diabetes
- Childhood Obesity
