RE: Mushrooms! The Only Plant Based Source Of Vitamin D (And Why You Should Leave Them In The Sun)

in #food7 years ago (edited)

We are able to get a full variety of edible mushrooms from our organic farmers' market.

If the mushrooms were harvested a few days to maybe a week before being bought, is it too late to put them in the sun to increase their Vitamin D content? Resteemed for the invaluable information.

Hey @allyinspirit! I'm so glad you have access to an organic market.

From the research papers I could find there is no limiting factor to the length of time after harvest that the mushrooms stop producing vitamin D.

In most of the studies the maximum time was 4 days after harvesting. But I'm sure it wouldn't do any harm to leave them out anyway.

All the best! Thank you so much for your support :)
