Nutritional values

Few calories and saturated fatty acids, but a lot of protein for a firm connective tissue characterize this creamy spread. In addition, the herb-light cream cheese variation contains a considerable amount of several B vitamins that are involved in various metabolic functions.

White mushrooms taste rather soft, the brown ones a bit more hearty. The cream is particularly aromatic with shiitake mushrooms, which are used in Asia for medicinal purposes - for example for stomach ailments, headaches and inflammations.
