Did you know that you can very easily boost the vitamin D levels in your mushrooms without doing much at all??

And we’re talking pretty significant numbers here.

Bathing mushrooms in direct sunlight for anywhere from 15-120 min can generate vitamin D2 (~10 mcg/100 g fresh weight). For context, the recommended daily intake for adults is around 10-15 mcg. Not bad huh!

A couple of factors like time of day, season, latitude, weather conditions, exposure time can affect the amount of vitamin D2 generated, but something’s better than nothing!

Tip: expose your mushrooms gill-side up to maximise vitamin D produced. 

There aren’t many foods that naturally contain vitamin D so this is a win for mushrooms!
