Mushrooms may seem plain, but they really are a superfood.
They contain virtually no fat, sugar or salt and are a valuable source of dietary fibre as well as the five B vitamins thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6) and folate.
They also contain the essential minerals potassium, copper, phosphorous and iron.
Most significant among their mineral content is selenium, which you don't find in many fruit and vegetables.'
With more than 90 per cent water content, adding mushrooms to dishes such as stews can make us feel fuller without boosting calorie content.
The humble white button mushroom could also carry significant health benefits. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University found that just a handful has about 12 times more of the powerful antioxidant, L-Ergothioneine than wheatgerm and four times more than chicken liver, previously thought to be the best sources.
