Mushrooms
From button mushrooms to shiitake and oyster mushrooms.
- Why?
- Their fungal beta-glucans are fibers found nowhere else, much studied for immunity.
- Tip
- Always cooked: cooking releases their compounds and removes the irritants of some raw mushrooms.
- Counting
- Fresh, dried or powdered, cultivated or foraged: all tick the category. They are not plants, but their beta-glucans earn a category of their own.
- The app's landmark
- A serving of about 50 g, every 4 days.
