Dubbed a “superfood”, they are packed with high levels of nutrients, vitamins and minerals and contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Mushrooms contain low calories and a high number of proteins, fiber, amino acids and healthy fatty acids. Consuming mushrooms can provide numerous health benefits, which is why we have infused our Nutricafe Coffee, Cocoa and mushroom tinctures with all the benefits of mushrooms without the actual taste of mushrooms.
