Mushrooms are
an ideal health food - they have almost no fat, sugar or salt, and they supply
valuable dietary fibre. Mushrooms are also a valuable source of
vitamins, especially the B-complex vitamins riboflavin, niacin, thiamin
and pantothenic acid. Mushrooms are one of the very few vegetable
sources of vitamin B12 (A vitamin rarely found in non-animal foods and
sometimes lacking in vegetarian diets.)
There's also
some iron, potassium (important to balance the sodium from salted
foods), and phosphorus. To add to their virtues, mushrooms have only
75kJ (18 cals) in a 100 gram serving - making them a slimmer's delight.
