Shiitake mushrooms, native to East Asia, are celebrated for their rich, umami flavor and versatile culinary uses, especially in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean dishes. They are low in calories and packed with nutrients, including dietary fiber, B vitamins like B5 and B6, and essential minerals such as selenium and copper. Shiitakes contain compounds like beta-glucans and polysaccharides, which are believed to support immune health and reduce inflammation. Additionally, they include eritadenine, which may help lower cholesterol levels. While shiitakes are generally healthy, some individuals may experience sensitivities or skin irritation from consuming them in excess. These mushrooms can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or as part of broths and stir-fries, making them a flavorful and nutrient-dense addition to a balanced diet.
