About Mushrooms, maitake, raw
Maitake, known in English as hen of the woods, grows in large, ruffled clusters of overlapping gray-brown fronds at the base of trees. Its name means dancing mushroom in Japanese, and it is prized for a rich, earthy, almost peppery flavor and a feathery texture that crisps beautifully.
At roughly 31 calories per 100 grams it is light but nutritious, offering B vitamins, copper, potassium and fiber. Maitake stands out for one thing in particular: it is among the richest natural food sources of vitamin D, and it has long been studied for the beta-glucan compounds in its flesh.
It is wonderful roasted or pan-fried until the edges turn golden and crisp, and it holds its own torn into soups, stir-fries and grain dishes. As with most culinary mushrooms, it is eaten cooked, which softens the texture and brings out its deep, savory flavor.
