Good source of B vitamins, selenium, and potassium. Contains vitamin D if exposed to sunlight. Low in calories.

Cook until very soft. Chop finely. Raw mushrooms are too tough.

Always cook mushrooms for babies - raw mushrooms are hard to digest. Clean but don't soak - they absorb water.

Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth rather than washing. Cooking brings out their umami flavor.
