Button mushrooms are small to medium-sized with a smooth, slightly convex cap that ranges in color from creamy white to light brown. The texture of button mushrooms is firm and meaty when raw, becoming softer and more tender when cooked.
Button mushrooms are low in calories and carbohydrates but rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins (especially B vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid), and minerals such as selenium, potassium, and copper. They are also a good source of antioxidants and phytonutrients.
Regular consumption of button mushrooms has been associated with various health benefits, including improved immune function, better digestion, and potential protection against chronic diseases due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
