Shiitake Mushroom The shiitake is an edible mushroom native to East Asia, which is cultivated and consumed in many East Asian countries. It is considered a medicinal mushroom in some forms of traditional medicine. The Shiitake is a delicious mushroom that has a strong aroma and meaty texture, but the mushroom is popular among consumers more for its nutritional value and health benefits than its taste. Protein makes up about 18% of the dry weight of the mushroom, and its protein contains all kinds of amino acids including essentials. It also contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium and a large quantity of vitamin B, and vitaminD2. Vitamin D2, especially, helps the bones to become stronger making it easy to absorb calcium, and is effective in preventing osteoporosis and rachitis. The pharmaceutical value of shiitakes has been known since ancient times. Lentinan, which is abstracted from the fruit bodies of the mushroom, has already been commercialized. It has been found that when continuously taken, shiitakes lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.
