Health benefits

They are an excellent source of selenium and iron, as well as a relatively large amount of protein, fiber and vitamin C. They lower cholesterol (due to eritadenin) and blood pressure.  

In addition, they have a compound called lentinan, which not only strengthens the immune system but also has an anti-cancer effect. It also contributes to regression and more active tumor control. By strengthening the immune system, it helps to activate specific cells and proteins that attack cancer. Lentinan is particularly effective for gastrointestinal cancers. Shiitake mushrooms are also useful in the prevention of thrombosis. The formation of blood clots that impede blood flow is greatly limited by the consumption of shiitake mushrooms.

How to use

Shiitake mushrooms pour hot water and set aside for 15 min. Strain.
