Nutritional value:

Portobello mushrooms are biologically different from the plant- and animal-derived foods, so it’s no surprise that they have a unique nutritional profile. They’re a good source of copper, one of the few metallic elements essential for maintaining normal metabolic processes and a healthy cardiovascular system.

They’re also rich in pantothenic acid and selenium, providing 21 milligrams (mg) and 46 micrograms (mcg), respectively. Pantothenic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a role in the synthesis of coenzyme A and acyl carrier protein, both of which are necessary for fatty acid synthesis and degradation. Selenium, on the other hand, is an essential trace mineral that has antioxidant properties.

Mushrooms also contain riboflavin, niacin, zinc, and manganese21 which contribute to their antioxidant properties. They also contain ergothioneine, a bioactive compound that provides potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties, as well as lentinan, a compound that may help fight against bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections.

Shelf Life: Dried Portobello Mushrooms have a shelf life of up to a year and can be used as a replacement for fresh mushrooms in most recipes, except full grilled Portobella.
