Adding sous vide–processed button mushroom powder (Agaricus bisporus) to chocolate boosted its antioxidant power and improved its overall nutritional profile without ruining taste or texture. The mushroom-enriched chocolate showed higher levels of beneficial phenolics and stronger free-radical scavenging activity, meaning more cellular protection in every bite. Sensory testing confirmed that the flavor stayed smooth and appealing, showing how mushrooms can quietly elevate everyday foods while keeping them delicious. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12651852/pdf/foods-14-03808.pdf
