Like other mushrooms, our organic certified shiitake mushrooms are as mysteriously unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds.

Recent studies have traced shiitakes' legendary benefits to an active compound contained in these mushrooms called lentinan. Among lentinan's healing benefits is its ability to power up the immune system, strengthening its ability to fight infection and other ailments.
A large number of animal studies conducted over the last ten years have shown that another active component in shiitake mushrooms called eritadenine may be beneficial for supporting already healthy cholesterol levels.
