WHY IT’S HEALTHY

Mushrooms are packed with fiber, help reduce LDL cholesterol, and lower blood sugars. They’re a great source of Vitamin A providing 97% of your daily needs and are also a great source of plant-based iron. Mushrooms contain a variety of powerful phytochemicals and have been linked to decreased risk of chronic diseases, especially cancer. Marjoram, while similar to oregano, has a milder flavor. It’s more potent when dried but can also be used fresh. Marjoram has been shown to have several anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has been used medicinally to help treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, infections, and painful menstruation. Cumin helps aid your digestion, boost your immune system, promote the health of your skin, relieve respiratory conditions, promote detoxification, combat oxidative stress, fight infections and help to prevent diabetes.
