- Mushrooms are one of the few plant-based sources of natural vitamin D, making this spinach mushroom recipe especially helpful for vegetarians.
- Popeye made spinach famous for its “iron power,” but the iron content was overestimated due to a decimal error! Still, spinach is packed with vitamins A, C, and K.
- Some mushrooms can create their own airflow by releasing water vapour, helping their spores travel even when there’s no breeze.
