Nutritional Information

From a nutritional standpoint, fresh mushrooms are very much a "food for the 90's" in that they are so low in, or free from, many of the substances we are trying to avoid today.

They are: low in calories; fat free; cholesterol-free; and sodium-free. In addition, they are high in riboflavin (as much as an eight ounce glass of milk) and contain as much fiber as a serving of lettuce (1/6 of a medium head) or 1 medium tomato. They are also a good source of niacin, pantothenate and copper.

This means that you can add the flavor and versatility of fresh mushrooms to any dish without adding fat or calories to it!
