They are high in potassium, essential amino acids, vitamin B, and a great source of protein. They are low in calories, fat-free, and have a meaty texture. They are usually eaten broiled, grilled, baked, sautéed, or as a replacement for hamburgers in vegetarian recipes. Portobello mushroom is a great choice if you’re watching your waistline.
