Skewering Summer Shrooms from Monterey Mushrooms
These kebabs aren’t just a tasty, unique, and fun-to-eat dish to bring to the table. They’re a great way to give your family a boost of nutrition, too! Mushrooms are high in fiber, low in calories and sodium, and free of fat, cholesterol, and gluten. They’re an excellent source of vitamin B and plant based protein. All that nutrition truly makes them kid-friendly!
Monterey Mushrooms® aren’t like any other mushrooms. What sets them apart? Expert growers teamed up with the U.S Department of Agriculture to replicate vitamin D-rich sunlight in their indoor growing spaces.
Mushrooms react to this light just the way people do: by increasing their vitamin D content. The “High Vitamin D” mushrooms produce and retain 50% of the recommended daily value of vitamin D per serving, even after cooking! In fact, eating a dozen of Monterey Mushrooms’ medium-sized “High Vitamin D” mushrooms will give you all of the vitamin D you need in your daily diet! Learn more here.
