NUTRITION
Oyster mushrooms are great for general health and weight loss as they are low in calories and fat with absolutely no cholesterol.
One cup of oyster mushrooms contains just 28 calories with 1g of fat, 2g of dietary fibre, and 3g of protein.
Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants:
- Niacin: Almost every cell in the human body requires niacin to function and metabolise other nutrients.
- Vitamin D: Vitamin D is not easy to find in food products (it typically comes from sunlight). However, mushrooms treated with UV light are one of the best food sources of vitamin D.
- Iron: Red blood cells require iron. One cup of oyster mushrooms gives you 12% of your recommended iron intake, making them a great meat substitute.
Oysters also provide important nutrients like: Riboflavin, Potassium, Vitamin B6, B Vitamins, Folic acid (folate), Magnesium, Vitamin C, Pantothenic acid, and Amino acids.
