Mushrooms are a highly under appreciated low-carb food!

These nutritional powerhouses are loaded with nutrients while also being low in calories and carbs.

Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, mushrooms are a great addition to a healthy and balanced ketogenic diet.

Mushrooms have a considerable amount of B vitamins which promote energy. They are also high in the mineral selenium which many people are deficient in.

Other important nutrients in mushrooms include potassium, vitamin C, and special type of carbohydrates called beta glucans.

So for all of these reason, and many more, we are sharing this easy and delicious Keto Zone stuffed mushroom recipe.

It is great as an appetizer, snack, or even as a main dish.
