Description
Shiitake mushrooms have one of the highest amounts of natural copper, a mineral that supports healthy blood vessels, bones, and immune support.
Here are additional health benefits for shiitake mushrooms:
Improve heart health – Shiitake mushrooms contain eritadenine, a compound known to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. They also contain beta-glucans that reduce inflammation and help prevent the intestines from absorbing cholesterol.
Support immune health – Shiitake are rich in polysaccharides like lentinans and other beta-glucans. These compounds protect against cell damage, help your immune system, and boost white blood cell production for fighting off microbes. Polysaccharides also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Shiitake Mushrooms make for such an easy and delicious side dish. From mashed potatoes to steaks, they are simply the perfect topper. Sauté them up as a side dish, or add them to stir-fries, noodles, ramen, vegan burgers and also used as a meat substitute where their meaty texture is put to good use. Sautéed shiitake mushrooms make an excellent side dish for chicken, beef, pork, or seafood.
