Portobello mushrooms are highly nutritious and are a great vegetable to eat on a ketogenic diet because according to the USDA, one cup provides 5 g carbohydrates, 2.7 g of dietary fiber, and plenty of vitamins and minerals including magnesium, potassium, niacin (vitamin B3) and riboflavin (vitamin B2).
If you are trying to follow a vegan keto lifestyle, portobello mushrooms are a great substitute since they are high in protein, low in carbs, and the texture is similar to meat.
