Anyone else love mushrooms? They are not just tasty and satisfying but good for us too! Here are my top 5 reasons to love the humble mushroom:
- They are low in calories- always good for the waistline!
- Like humans, mushrooms produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. They are the only vegetable source of this vitamin.
- They are high in anti-oxidants, normally the territory of brightly coloured fruit and veg.
- They have loads of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin).
- They are an excellent source of iron.
