Goodness: : Mushrooms are classified as vegetables in the food world, but they are not technically plants. They belong to the fungi kingdom. Mushrooms are high in antioxidants, which help get rid of free radicals, a type of chemical that can harm a person’s body cells, potentially leading to cancer. They are also high in selenium a mineral that is not present in most other fruits and vegetables. Selenium plays a role in liver enzyme function and helps detoxify some cancer-causing compounds in the body. Additionally, selenium helps prevent inflammation

Dahl is a good recipe if you have a sore or dry mouth or if it hurts to swallow.
