How to eat mushrooms? Shiitake is highly valued for its rich flavor and meaty texture. It is commonly used in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisines, and can be added to soups, stir-fries, and stews. Is mushroom good for my health? Shiitake is known for its many health benefits. It contains bioactive compounds such as lentinan, which has immunostimulatory and anticancer properties. Shiitake is also rich in vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B12, C and D), minerals (potassium, calcium, zinc, phosphorus) and fiber. How to grow mushrooms? Shiitake can be grown on wood logs or artificial substrates such as sawdust. Now available as indoor growing kits, this makes it easy to produce fresh organic mushrooms at home. Growing tips from our specialist Cut holes in the grow bag, scrape off the seeded straw to provide oxygen to the mycelium, and water with a sprayer. Maintain a stable temperature between 20 and 25°C and high humidity. Shiitake prefers warm, humid conditions. Low indirect light can help stimulate mushroom growth. Storing the Kit This growing kit is sensitive to temperature changes and it is best to store the mushroom kits in a cool room or in the fridge if you want to give it as a Christmas gift. Out of the fridge, use within 2 to 3 weeks.
