With long, slender stems, ultra-small caps and a creamy white color, enoki mushrooms are one of the most elegant mushrooms in the world. These fragile, slightly sweet mushrooms, known as "snowballs" in native Japan, grow in a bouquet and are traditionally eaten raw or lightly cooked. Like other fresh mushrooms, enoki is a low-calorie source of protein and complex carbohydrates.
Enoki mushrooms are practically fat-free and sugar-free. Mushrooms are usually high in B vitamins, and Enoch is no exception. They are especially rich in niacin, offering 23% of the recommended daily value for 1 teaspoon of raw mushrooms.
Enoki get about 10% of their daily values for thiamine, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and folate. Although they are poorer in mineral content, fresh enoki provides about 7% of the recommended daily allowance for potassium and phosphorus per dose, plus iron, copper, zinc and selenium.
The nutritional value of these mushrooms is further enhanced by their beneficial phytochemicals, including several powerful antioxidant compounds. Enoki contains significant amounts of beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that is particularly effective in lowering high cholesterol.

The amino acids valine, lysine and ergothioneine strengthen the immune-boosting properties of enoki. Due to its health benefits, the fungus has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicines for hundreds of years as a tonic for liver disease, high cholesterol, stomach ailments and high blood pressure.
Enoki mushrooms are full of dietary fiber that will help you manage your blood glucose levels. Frequent consumption of these mushrooms helps prevent asthma, rhinitis, eczema, and other allergic reactions. So include them in your regular menu to stay healthy and free of allergies.
