Why did the mushroom get invited to the party? Because he was a funghi. Boom boom.
I was really weird about mushrooms as a kid. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole. Now I’m an adult I love that umami flavoured little guy. They pack a powerful nutrition punch too:
– they contain potassium that helps maintain normal blood pressure.
– they’re a good source of the B group vitamins which support heart function, energy levels and helps optimise skin and hair health.
– they contain high levels of selenium which boosts immunity and mood.
– mushrooms exposed to sunlight naturally produce vitamin D which helps calcium absorption and bone strength.
– they are low fat and low sodium, and bloody delicious!
