Oyster Mushrooms Benefits
Oyster mushrooms are highly nutritious and may promote heart health thanks to fibers called beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are fermented by gut bacteria that help reduce cholesterol production in the body. Oyster mushrooms provide twice as many beta-glucans as white button mushrooms. They encourage healthy blood sugar control and provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Oyster mushrooms are high in fiber, plant-based protein, vitamins, and minerals, and they’re also low in carbohydrates.
