Think mushrooms are just a tasty topping? Think again!
Even the basic white button mushroom is loaded with beta-glucan, a powerful fiber that:
Feeds your gut bacteria
Lowers inflammation
Boosts your immune system
And here’s the twist:
That stem you’ve been tossing out?
It’s called the stipe, and it has TWICE as much beta-glucan as the cap!
So next time you cook mushrooms…
EAT THE STEMS! Your gut will thank you!

Love them all. thank you for sharing.
I remember my father telling me as a young girl, when I was cooking, "don't forget to chop those stems and add them in too".
Great information. Why is he so real? Love mushroom soup or raw with a salad..
Fibre is not classed as an essential nutrient. And by definition it means undigestable. Why would you eat something the body cant digest?! Madness
Can you eat the mushrooms with out cooking them?
As an autoimmune lipedema sufferer I make a special anti inflammatory soup with mushroom celery spring onion and dill and of course olive oil and lemon. The mushroom is used with the stipe whole.😅 Greetings from Athens Greece!
Then u will drink a couple sodas and destroy the 🦠
The whole thing is a mushroom. Throwing away the stem is like only drinking the milk in a bowl of cereal.
Well it has to go up the stem to get to the cap so obviously the stem is going to have more in it so why on earth would you throw it away.
Caps can also have carcinogens
I love mushrooms on pizza and friend in olive oil with Cajun breading.
Who's the gorgeous women
I love mushrooms.
Calm the fk down dramatic’s
I don’t know anyone who throws the stems away. It all gets chopped up and cooked together, it all tastes the same. What a waste of food to just chuck half of them away,
Always be wary of anyone giving you nutritional advice that tells you to eat mushrooms. For those of you unaware, look up the mushroom mafia
Anyone else curious about the negative effects of Portobello mushrooms? Has anyone watched an interview with a mushroom and fungi expert that stated he couldn't speak on the negative effects of Portobellos bc it put his life in danger🤷🏼♂️🤣
Love Mushrooms. 🍄
But portobellos needs to be cooked all the way through I heard this expert says it could be dangerous.
But I also heard that mushrooms are toxic?
I love mushrooms raw. I wonder if it’s better to eat the raw in a salad, than it is to eat them cooked?
I have always eaten the full mushroom. My mother used to take she skin off the cap, but I've never personally done that
If throw things away why even go shopping/growing..l
I always eat the stem.
English here i have never thrown the stem away
I'll give you the stem.
My granny use to make the mushrooms stems soup with veggies
