Shiitake mushrooms (or Po Ku) in a 1 kg package

Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) have been cultivated in Asia for over a thousand years. According to ancient Chinese medicinal traditions, consuming shiitake was recommended for maintaining good health and longevity. The Chinese have long regarded shiitake as an elixir. Due to their high content of proteins, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, these mushrooms are considered very nutritious and valuable. Scientific studies confirm that these mushrooms have a unique carbohydrate structure that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells under certain conditions.

Preparation: Dried, best soaked overnight in water. If someone needs it faster, then at least 2 hours in hot water (in this case, the "caps" will be firm, and the "stems" will be tough, so they should be trimmed). Of course, depending on the dish, the mushrooms are then boiled or fried.

Ideal for soups, wok dishes, pasta dishes, or as a filling for dumplings.
