I do crave fruits and vegetables though... And when I am dehydrated or after intense workouts I always crave salty foods because my sodium is low. There is definite links between certain cravings and minerals/vitamins you are lacking. For example, vinegar craving may indicate your stomach acid is far too basic. When I am lacking protein in my diet, I crave meat...etc. I have read numerous studies on this. It does have some validity to it.
Do you have links to those studies? Genuinely curious. Every study I've read shows no causal link between mineral deficiencies and food cravings.
And also, in for the mushroom love. The answer is always eat the mushrooms.0
