Shiitake powder - 200 grams

McMyco Shiitake Powder

The imperial mushroom, for your kitchen

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) has been a prized mushroom in China and Japan for over a thousand years. It naturally grows on fallen trunks of the shii tree, which is where it gets its name: shii (the tree) and take (mushroom). As early as the Song dynasty, it was deliberately cultivated on wood, and in Japan it was long known as a mushroom for the imperial court. Today, shiitake is one of the most cultivated mushrooms in the world.

Shiitake is also interesting to scientists. It naturally contains special compounds, such as lentinan (a beta-glucan named after shiitake) and eritadenine, and it is rich in polysaccharides. Research into these has been ongoing for decades.

The powder adds a deep umami flavor to soups, sauces, risotto, and stir-fry dishes. Or stir it into your smoothie: that way you can enjoy shiitake every day without any effort.
