I am not a nutritionist, but the base wiki for mushrooms says that the only RDA over 20% are B vitamins.

I realize that the subject fungus, aspergillus oryzae, is not a mushroom. They are, however, related.

I wonder if anything with a statistically similar nutritional profile can satiate hunger cravings. That would be a surprise.

Brewer's yeast is also related, and it's chock-full of B vitamins (other than B12, which is pretty scarce in anything other than animal tissue). Also protein.


Due to conventional agricultural practices ie pesti/herbicides, animals have to be fed B12 to contain any. After learning that i stopped eating meat and started taking B12.


It would be interesting to see the baseline nutritional content of aspergillus oryzae, so we know what must be added.
