Mushroom Curry Indian Style
Mushrooms are very low in calories, very high in fiber & contain many important vitamins and minerals. The nutritional facts of mushrooms are stated below:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
- Protein - Most mushrooms have a high protein content, usually around 20-30% by dry weight. This can be useful for vegetarians or anyone looking to increase the protein content in their diet.
- Fiber - Good amount of fiber in mushrooms will help in lowering cholesterol and is important for the digestive system.
- Niacin & other important B vitamins - As certain B vitamins are found in animal tissue but not plants, this can be another good supplement for vegetarians.
- Vitamin D - Essential for the absorption of calcium.
- Copper(Cu) - Aids in helping the body absorb oxygen and create red blood cells.
- Selenium(Se) - An antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, thus preventing cell damage and reducing the risk of cancer and other diseases. Mushrooms contain more selenium than any other form of produce.
- Potassium(K) - An extremely important mineral that regulates blood pressure(BP) and keeps cells functioning properly. A large portobello mushroom is said to have more potassium than a banana.
