Mushrooms Unlike most vegetables, mushrooms grow off decaying organic matter like compost or manure. This fact is what makes them so powerful. Mushrooms have the ability to convert toxins from these growth support systems into nurturing food. These little powerhouses can absorb and eliminate pathogens, mucus, fat in blood, improve immunity, decrease digestive issues and more. Did I mention they are high in fiber, protein, B vitamins, selenium vitamin D and zinc and act as excellent prebiotics matter in the gut? Bonus Fact: Mushrooms contain 2 types of fiber: beta-glucans and chitin, which help with increased satiety and reduce appetite making them great for #weightloss, diabetes and dyslipidemia. No wonder people call them magical!
