2. Potassium, not just in banana’s. One large portabella has more potassium than a banana. Not to mention is a good source of riboflavin, niacin, copper, pantothenic acid and selenium. What a superfood!
3. Fresh Canadian mushrooms are grown 24/7/365. That’s right! Because mushrooms are grown indoors, on farms they are available fresh every day of the year. The only day a mushroom farm shuts down is Christmas.
4. Mushroom Umami could replace salt. Mushrooms have this fabulous naturally occurring glutamate in them which makes the foods they are served with taste better – so skip on the salt and add some sautéed mushrooms!
5. Mushrooms taste great!
