Shiitake Mushroom
Scientific Name: Lentinula edodes
Shiitake mushrooms are prized in Asian cuisine for their umami-rich, savory flavor and firm texture that holds up well in sautés, soups, and grilling. Nutritionally dense, they are high in B-vitamins and contain lentinan, a polysaccharide linked to immune support and anticancer activity. Shiitake can be enjoyed fresh or dried and are often used both for their taste and health benefits.
