Pennsylvania’s Mushrooms
Half of America’s mushrooms sprout up in just one small area of Pennsylvania – Kennett Square. That 1.1 square mile spot produces more than 1 million pounds per week, dubbing it the Mushroom Capital of the World. That’s wonderful because all of those fabulous fungi are loaded with a variety of B Vitamins – riboflavin, niacin, folate and B6. They’re also packed with important minerals – selenium, ergothioneine, copper and potassium. They’re also a low calorie way – just 20 – to get 3 grams of protein into your diet.
