Mushrooms are rich in dietary fiber, which is essential for digestion. Being low in calories and fat, they constitute an ideal part of a healthy diet. On dry weight basis, the protein content of mushrooms is approximately 33%. Mushroom proteins contain eight amino acids that are essential for humans. Mushrooms contain as much protein as milk or peas so they are a good choice for a vegan diet. We have three different mushrooms in our selection, each one with a distinctive flavor. Mushrooms contain vitamins and several minerals, especially potassium, iron, zinc, and selenium. They are low in sodium, which makes them suitable for those with high blood pressure.
