Shiitake Mushroom Lentinula edodes

Shiitake mushrooms are native to Japan, Korea, and China and have been around for thousands of years and are prised for their culnary and medicinal uses. Shiitake mushrooms have a meaty robust flavor that maintains its plump consistancy when cooked. Shiitakes can be prepared in many ways, dried, and eaten raw when fresh. When Shiitakes are dried in the sunlight it absorbs vitimin D and maintains it even when rehydrated. Shiitakes have been noted for their abilities to enhance the immune system, possess antibacterial properties, reduce platelet aggregation, or possess antiviral properties,, They lower cholorestriol and is the second most popular alternative medicine used by cancer patients. Basic research has shown that it increases the body's resistance to pathogens as shown in experiments with the influenza virus, West Nile virus, or bacterial infection. So as I see it Shiitake mushrooms are a powerful product; not only for dietary reason but for better health. It is the power food of the future and is the healthy NON-white meat....As it retains its plump meaty texture when cooked.
