From seafood pasta to casseroles, the combination of mushroom and seafood is healthy and heavenly.

Did you know, that...
  • Mushrooms contain fewer kilojoules per 100g than almost any other food, making them ideal for anyone looking after their waistline.
  • A single serve (three button mushrooms) has only 103 kJ.
  • A single serve of mushrooms delivers 20% of your daily needs of a range of B group vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and biotin.
  • Mushrooms naturally have vitamin D. They are the only non-animal food to have natural vitamin D, generated automatically when they are exposed to light.
  • The mushroom is ideally suited for weight control because it is low in fat and low in kilojoules making it suitable for everyone, including those who have heart disease or diabetes.
  • Australian research suggests that women eating 10g mushrooms or more daily have a 50-65% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those women who don’t eat mushrooms. There are unique compounds in mushrooms that may protect us from both breast and prostate cancer.
  • The mushroom has all the attributes of a superfood – nutrient-rich, flavour-rich, low in kilojoules, high in bioactive compounds, antioxidants, convenient and affordable.
