Mushrooms are not everyone’s favorite food, but many of us love them. Why make more mushroom food? Mushrooms contain antioxidants that boost the immune system. They also contain natural antibiotics that inhibit the growth of microbes. Most mushrooms are an excellent source of riboflavin, potassium, copper, thiamine, vitamin B3, and folic acid. This would justify the inclusion of mushrooms as a superfood.
So, eat more mushrooms! We have 10 tasty but easy mushroom recipes for you to try.
