About Mushroom:
Mushrooms are high in fiber and protein, and provide vitamins such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), biotin (B7), cobalamins (B12) and ascorbic acid (C), as well as minerals, including iron, selenium, potassium and phosphorus. Research is currently being conducted as to how the mushroom may help to prevent breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity. Mushrooms are the only non-animal food that can give you vitamin D.
