Beech mushrooms, known as Bunapi-shimeji (white) or Buna-shimeji (brown), are petite fungi native to East Asia, widely used in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisines. They boast a firm yet delicate texture, offering a mildly nutty and subtly sweet flavor that deepens when cooked. Rich in nutrients, beech mushrooms are low in calories and contain ample fiber, potassium, and B vitamins, which support digestion, nerve function, and energy metabolism. They also feature antioxidants and beta-glucans, compounds linked to immune health. A notable source of protein in plant-based diets, these mushrooms can complement soups, stir-fries, and sauces, adding umami depth to dishes. When raw, beech mushrooms may taste bitter, but cooking eliminates any harshness, making them a savory and nutritious ingredient. However, moderate consumption is advised for individuals with mushroom sensitivity.
