SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS are a gourmet mushroom highly prized in the Orient for their flavor and medicinal qualities. Only recently has this imperial treasure been "discovered" in America for its unique taste and medicinal qualities.
In the past, Shiitake mushrooms were fiercely guarded by warriors for the exclusive for use of Emperors. Also known as the Black Forest Mushrooms, Shiitakes have been reported to strengthen the immune system, ward off cancer, lower blood pressure and aid in weight loss. Although low in calories, Shiitakes contain high amounts of protein, essential amino acids, calcium, potassium, and iron . Shiitakes are often used as a healthy alternative to meat with their distinctive flavor and firm texture. Shiitakes will stay fresh in your refrigerator for up to 10 days if placed in a paper bag.
Our Shiitakes are grown on natural hardwood logs
in the oriental tradition.
