Urban Platter Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake Mushroom The Chinese have used the shiitake mushroom for medicinal purposes for over 6,000 years; consequently, it has become the Asian symbol for longevity. This particular type of edible fungus is the second most commonly cultivated mushroom in the world. With its rich sources of selenium, iron, dietary fibre, protein and vitamin C, research has shown significant benefits in adding shiitake mushrooms to your diet. Preparing Shiitake Mushrooms – The shiitake is a versatile food that can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. You can buy these mushrooms raw, cooked or dried. Because they're becoming more popular due to their nutritional value, you can find shiitake mushrooms at most grocery stores. When preparing shiitake mushrooms, you want to cut off the stems because they're too woody to eat, but you don't have to throw them out. Add the stems to a veggie stock to soak up all of those nutrients. Make sure to rinse the mushrooms thoroughly. They can be placed in a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes to eliminate any residue and then rinsed. Now you're ready to add them to your breakfast, lunch or dinner.
