Are mushrooms fruits or vegetables? That’s an interesting question! While they’re often categorized as vegetables, mushrooms belong to the fungi kingdom. (Fun fact for the kids: Scientists group living things into kingdoms for study—think plants, animals, and more!) Even though they sit in the produce aisle, mushrooms aren’t plants. But don’t let that fool you; they’re packed with health benefits! Low in calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium, they also provide protein, vitamin D, B vitamins like riboflavin and niacin, selenium, and potassium. Plus, they’re a great source of chitin, an indigestible carbohydrate that helps us feel full.
