For those who do
not eat non-veg, mushroom is considered a better option. Its taste and texture
seems like meat, not only that the quantity of calories in mushroom is low but
it is loaded with vitamin B, D, potassium, iron and selenium. Mushroom is beneficial
not only for the body but also for the brain. Mushroom is also considered
beneficial for the sugar patients because it contains very little amount of
starch.
Due to the
abundance of anti-oxidants it gives energy to the body and vitamin D is which
strengthens the bones of our body.
Besides the
requirement of vitamins and minerals for our body, it is very important to
control the amount of iron, especially for women’s. Deficiency of iron is the
major cause of various diseases. If any dish which is rich in iron content is
made and served every day in your kitchen, many diseases can be avoided.
Mushroom is one
of the vegetable which has abundance of iron content. Mushrooms are one of my
favorite vegetables, so I continuously try several new recipes with it and Mushrooms
