Mushrooms can help your heart health
Because mushrooms contain glutamate ribonucleotides, they improve the flavour of recipes when used instead of salt. These compounds give food a savoury, umami flavour while having no effect on blood pressure or heart disease risk. A cup of mushrooms contains only 5 mg of sodium! Mushrooms are also a delicious and satisfying substitute for red meat in any dish, eliminating calories, fat, and cholesterol.
