About Mushrooms, shiitake, raw
Shiitake are among the most popular cultivated mushrooms in the world, grown for centuries across East Asia and valued for a deep, smoky, savory flavor that intensifies when they are dried. The brown, umbrella-shaped caps are meaty and chewy; the tough stems are usually trimmed away or saved for stock.
Raw, they sit at about 34 calories per 100 grams and are notably high in copper, alongside selenium, B vitamins, potassium and gut-friendly fiber, including the beta-glucans that have made shiitake a subject of ongoing research. They also contribute that elusive savory taste known as umami, which is why a few dried shiitake can lift a whole pot of broth.
Shiitake are almost always eaten cooked — they are central to stir-fries, ramen, risottos and braises — and the dried version, rehydrated, is even more intense. A note of caution: eating them raw or undercooked occasionally triggers a temporary itchy rash (shiitake dermatitis), so they are best thoroughly cooked.
