Shiitake Mushroom (15% Protein)

History:

The wild Shiitake Mushroom is a light amber fungus that is native to Japan, China and other Asian countries, and is now widely cultivated throughout the world, including the United States. The caps have nearly ragged gills and an in-rolled margin when young, and they are covered with a delicate white flocking. The mushrooms are frequently found on downed hardwood trees and have been used as a food and medicinal source for over three thousand years in the Far East. Legend claims that Shiitake was given by the aboriginal people of Japan to their emperor, Chuai, around the year 200, but they were used long before that in China. In the Orient, several types of mushrooms have been used for centuries as health, youth and longevity tonics. Wu Ri, a famous Chinese physician from the Ming Dynasty (A.D.1368-1644), described Shiitake's ability to support energy and for intestinal worms. Japanese physicians have long used lentinan's immune-stimulating support in various important health therapies. Now popular in the United States as a tasty alternative to the blander varieties more commonly found in food markets, there is enormous interest in the Shiitake Mushroom, and much research is being conducted into the possible great health benefits that may be derived from it. Some of the constituents in Shiitake include fatty acids (largely unsaturated), over thirty different enzymes. proteins (containing all the essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids), eritadenine, ergothioneine, vitamins B-2 and B-12, high levels of Vitamin D and the important and active glucan polysaccharide, lentinan.
