Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2018 -- Market Outlook

Protein is one of the most vital nutrients required in the human body for a wide variety of functions, such as for building muscles and supporting the formation of hormones and anti-bodies to strengthen the immunity system. Protein is found in different types of food products and meat, milk, soy, fish and eggs are some of the sources of complete protein. Different types of whole grains and cereals are also vital sources of protein. Recently, there has been an increase in awareness regarding vegan sources of protein, which has led to awareness regarding new sources of protein such as Pea protein, rice protein, potato protein, and mushroom protein. Mushroom protein is a popular vegan protein source as most mushroom types have high protein content – around 20 – 25% of their dry weight. It is also a good alternative to other sources of protein, such as meat, as meats are higher in protein content but also have higher calories per serving as compared to mushroom protein sources and other vegan and plant-based proteins.

Reasons for Covering this Title

Mushroom protein can be derived from different types of mushroom, such as Reishi, button, shiitake, oyster, brown Italian, white, portabella, chanterelle, morel, Enoki, and others. Mushroom isn't one of the best sources of protein in general, but can be considered as one of the most impressive sources of protein for vegans and vegetarians. Every 100 grams of mushroom has only 3 – 4 grams of protein, but is also quite lower in calorie. Mushroom protein, not being a "Complete Protein" (Complete protein is a protein that contains most of the required amino acids), is mostly used in combination with other protein sources. These nutritional benefits of mushroom make it a preferred source of protein for weight watchers and subsequently, act as the major driver for the market. Mushroom protein is used as one of the multiple combined sources used by vegans for their protein intake. It should be noted though that not all the types of mushrooms have the same level of protein, minerals and vitamins.
