Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses, rich in essential nutrients like selenium, copper and potassium, which support immune function, red blood cell production and healthy blood pressure. They are one of the few plant-based sources of vitamin D, critical for bone health and immune resilience, especially when exposed to sunlight. Packed with beta-glucans, mushrooms help modulate the immune response, making them beneficial for fighting off infections and reducing inflammation.

Mushrooms are a great source of potassium, which is an important mineral for helping lower blood pressure and reducing the risk of stroke.
