Mushroom–rice Nutrition

Mushroom–rice Nutrition

Blending brown rice with king tuber mushroom (Pleurotus tuberregium sclerotium) flour created a shelf-stable meal with more protein, fibre, and minerals to help address protein–energy malnutrition. The composite flours delivered about 12.5–13.7% protein and 360–365 kcal per 100 g, with mushroom-rich blends boosting key minerals like phosphorus and magnesium. A mix of 85% brown rice and 15% mushroom was recommended as a practical, nutrient-dense option.
