About:

Stuffed mushrooms make a delicious, bite-sized appetizer that’s low-calorie and low-fat. Eating a healthful appetizer before your meal helps fill you up so you eat less of the main course and — hopefully — fewer calories and fat. With most diets, you can eat as many as five stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer without going over your nutritional goals.

Health Benefits:

Mushrooms are low in calories and a valuable source of protein and folic acid. Folic acid protects the heart from the harmful action of an amino acid called homo cysteine, and is essential for the formation of new red blood cells
