This flavoursome dish is loaded with nutritional goodness. Mushrooms contain the antioxidant mineral selenium which helps protect cells from free radical damage, along with helping lower your risk of certain types of cancer such as breast and prostate cancers. Mushrooms are rich in potassium, which is an important mineral needed to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke. Mushrooms also provide some vitamin D which plays a crucial role in strengthening immune function, offering protection against chronic diseases, and for bone health.
