Yet Another Reason I Love Fungi
Unlike popular belief that mushrooms are void of nutrition, they are actually very very good for you!
Not only are they high in water and fiber which is great for a healthy digestive tract, they are loaded with Riboflavin! Riboflavin is the name for the B2 Vitamin. B2 helps your body cells use oxygen (which is good for us who are anemic), metabolize amino acids (eliminates free radicals) and fatty acids as well as carbohydrates. It's also the precursor needed to activate the B6 vitamin which assists in adrenal gland function and cell reproduction. Isn't that fantastic?!?
So next time you order a salad or a steak, be sure to load up on fresh mushrooms! YUM!
