One of the most commonly available edible mushrooms, shiitakes are known for their rich umami flavor and meaty texture. Native to East Asia and originally cultivated in Japan and China, the Japanese name shiitake comes from shii, one of the hardwood trees that the mushrooms grow on, and take, or mushroom.
Shiitakes are the third most cultivated mushroom worldwide which is why they can be found in dishes from around the world. Shiitakes are rich in polysaccharides like lentinans and other beta-glucans which protect against cell damage, help your immune system, and boost white blood cell production for fighting off microbes.
