In addition to being low in calories, fat-free, gluten-free, cholesterol-free, and very low in sodium, shiitake mushrooms contain fibre, B-vitamins and minerals that can keep us healthy. It’s no wonder they’ve played an essential role in traditional Asian medicines for centuries. Shiitakes contain copper which promotes healthy bones and supports the immune system. Their beta-glucans may help reduce inflammation, prevent cell damage, and boost white blood count resulting in a decreased risk of heart disease. Including shiitake mushrooms in your everyday diet may play an important part in improving your heart health and the support of your immune system.
