Why mushrooms earns a spot on THE FAD's top 100 anti-inflammatory foods list.
Mushrooms contain beta-glucans (fibres studied for immune-modulating effects) and are one of the few non-animal, non-fortified food sources capable of producing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight or UV light.
Briefly exposing mushrooms to direct sunlight for a few hours before cooking can meaningfully increase their vitamin D content.
