Have your children ever tried mushrooms?
I know most moms are skeptical, but you’d be surprised by the nutritional value they offer. Mushrooms are loaded with essential nutrients that kids need. They are rich in vitamin D and B12, which helps keep them energetic throughout the day. Does your child have an iron deficiency? Give them a serving of mushrooms each day to help. Mushrooms also boost immunity and contain antioxidants to help prevent sickness and disease.
