ABOUT SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

For hundreds of years, Shiitake mushrooms have been a popular food source in Asia. In fact, they’re the second most popular and the third most widely cultivated edible mushroom in the world. 

Shiitake mushrooms have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. They also help control blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation within the body.

WHAT ARE SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

The Shiitake is part of the Lentinula edodes species. It’s an edible mushroom native to East Asia. Because of its health benefits it has been considered a medicinal mushroom in traditional herbal medicine and mentioned in books written thousands of years ago.

Shiitakes have a meaty texture and a woody flavor making them the perfect addition to soups, salads, meat dishes and stir fries. They’re often used in Japanese recipes, along with Oyster mushrooms and Maitake mushrooms.

Shiitake mushrooms contain many chemical compounds that protect your DNA from oxidative damage, which is partly why they’re so beneficial. Lentinan, for example, heals chromosome damage.

Meanwhile, Eritadenine substances from edible mushrooms help reduce cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health.

Shiitakes are also unique for a fungi because they contain all 8 essential amino acids, along with a type of essential fatty acid called Linoleic acid. Linoleic acid helps with weight loss and building muscle. It also has bone building benefits, improves digestion, and reduces food allergies and sensitivities.
