Mushroom caps are the edible tops of fungi, commonly found in varieties like button, cremini, and portobello mushrooms. Native to cuisines worldwide, they are celebrated for their earthy flavor and versatility in dishes ranging from soups and stir-fries to grilled or stuffed appetizers. Nutritionally, mushroom caps are low in calories and fat while being a good source of vitamins like D, B2, and B3, alongside essential minerals such as selenium and potassium. They also contain antioxidants and bioactive compounds that may support immune health and reduce inflammation. With no cholesterol and minimal sodium, they are a heart-friendly food option. However, overloading them with heavy sauces, cheeses, or oils can diminish their health benefits, so preparation methods matter. Whether consumed raw, baked, or sautéed, mushroom caps make a highly nutritious and flavorful addition to any meal.
