What is this food?
This is mushroom (cooked). It’s a low-calorie vegetable side made from mushrooms, usually added to viands, soups, or stir-fries.
Why it matters to health
Mushrooms are helpful for everyday meals because they add fiber (about 1.7 g per 100 g), which supports regular digestion and helps you feel full with fewer calories. They also have very little fat and no cholesterol. However, they can be higher in sodium (about 305 mg per 100 g), especially if cooked with salty sauces or seasoning—so it’s good to watch how much sauce or seasoning you use. With carbs at about 2.5 g, mushrooms fit well as a fiber-rich add-on to your 3 meals and snacks without making your plate too heavy.
Healthier tips
- Use mushrooms as your extra vegetable in meals: add them to rice meals, noodles, or ulam.
- For better balance, pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and whole grains or moderate rice portion.
- If the dish is salty, choose less soy sauce or use herbs/garlic/onion for flavor; taste first before adding more.
- Try a serving of about 1–2 cups cooked depending on your appetite and the rest of your meal.
- Enjoy them regularly—everything in moderation, especially with sodium from sauces.
