Raw mushrooms are versatile fungi enjoyed worldwide for their subtle earthy flavor and nutritional benefits. Common varieties include button, cremini, portobello, and shiitake, each lending itself to various culinary traditions, from Asian stir-fries to European salads. Low in calories and fat-free, they contain essential vitamins such as B-complex vitamins like riboflavin and niacin, along with minerals such as selenium and copper. Mushrooms are also rich in antioxidants, supporting immune health and combating oxidative stress. They’re a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and some varieties, such as maitake and lion’s mane, are renowned for their bioactive compounds that contribute to brain and heart health. While mushrooms are generally healthy, individuals with sensitivities to fungi or a preference for cooked foods may find raw mushrooms harder to digest. Always opt for fresh, clean mushrooms to minimize the risk of contamination.
