Saffron Milk Cap
Saffron Milk Cap is an edible wild mushroom (Lactarius deliciosus) prized in European and Mediterranean cuisines for its orange color and mild, slightly fruity flavor; it is commonly pan-fried, roasted or added to stews and sauces. In terms of nutrition, Saffron Milk Cap is a low-energy, nutrient-dense ingredient often used as a vegetable substitute; it provides modest protein and fiber and is notable for containing about 27mg of vitamin C per 100g, which is relatively high for a mushroom. From a health perspective, it contributes useful plant protein, dietary fiber and some B-vitamins and minerals (such as copper), making it a wholesome addition to meals; it’s generally seen as a nutritious, low-calorie way to boost the vegetable content of dishes.
