45. Mushrooms
Although considered by many to be a vegetable, mushrooms are not a plant food but a fungus. Eaten and used as a medicine for thousands of years, mushrooms contain polysaccharides, indoles, polyphenols and carotenoids that may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.
Mushrooms grow in thousands of different varieties. The button mushroom is the mildest tasting and most common in the U.S. After purchasing, clean delicate mushrooms under gentle running water or wipe with a dampened paper towel to remove dirt.
