Walsh Mushrooms launch a Vitamin D Mushroom
Vitamin D is important as it helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body and these nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. Between October and early March we don't get enough Vitamin D from sunlight. Mushrooms are very similar to people in that they convert light into Vitamin D, and none is lost through cooking.
Padraic O’Leary, Managing Director, commented that it is “important to continue to develop and add to the health benefits of mushrooms which, in turn, will help bring in new customers into the category. With Northern Europe not having adequate levels of sun light to produce Vitamin D during the winter months this is an inexpensive and natural way to improve your intake”.
The Vitamin D mushrooms will be available in selected Aldi stores in the Midlands from early October.
