The benefits of mushrooms are numerous. Each variety of mushrooms provide a host of different healthful and medicinal properties. The shitake mushroom may help to fight cancer cells and infectious disease, boost the immune system, promote brain function, and serves as a rich source of B vitamins and vitamin D. Other shiitake health benefits include its ability to aid weight loss, support cardiovascular health, improve energy levels and reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n

Shiitake mushrooms have a woody flavour and meaty texture; they can be purchased dried, cooked or raw. Add shiitakes to soups, salads, meat dishes, stir fries and omelettes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
