Lowers Cholesterol:

A compound found in shitake mushrooms call eritadenine, has been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels, an article published by the Obihiro University of Agriculture, shows a study on eritadenine in shitake mushrooms which helps to increase the cholesterol levels in the feces, which in turn reduce blood cholesterol levels. They also contain sterols and lipids, whose properties help reduce cholesterol as well. As someone with high cholesterol, due to genetics, I have found this super food extremelly helpful, in decreasing my hdl levels, without taking any drugs!. That to anyone can be a big motivator to start eating this type of mushroom!.

Taste Delicious And Compares To MEAT!

There is many ways you can cook shitake mushrooms, they are brown thick and at times taste very much like meat. As a vegan, I don’t find pleasure on the taste because I don’t eat/like meat products. But for chicken and beef lovers this is a great alternative!. In addition shitake mushrooms contain many of the same aminoacids as meat, they also boast terpenoids, polysaccharides. The amount of  bioactive compounds in shitake depends on how and where the mushrooms are grown, stored and prepared.

How to prepare them?

You can cook with both fresh and dried shitake. I personally love fresh, then grilled it till they are dry, but I found that as I put peppers, onions etc, the added foods along with sea salt and other condiments i add and enjoy, make the mushrooms more tasty and give the an unamy flavor as well. Unamy flavor can be described as savory or meaty,and is often consider the fifth taste, along side sweet, sour, bitter, and salty!. Both dry and fresh shitake mushrooms are used in stir fries, soups, stews and other dishes!. Click on this link for an amazing recipe with shitake mushrooms!
