Shiitake or Shitake?

Did you know that oak lentin or more commonly called shiitake is the second most produced mushroom in the world after champignons from Paris ?

Of Asian origin, this mushroom is very popular because it can be easily cultivated, so you can become a real mushroom grower in no time. In addition, it has a reputation for being good for your health. It is also widely used in Chinese medicine. Endowed with exceptional nutritional properties (296kcal/100g): it offers a content of vitamins B5, B2, B3, potassium, iron, zinc and copper… in short, it is a real source of energy! Some even claim that it could have a beneficial effect on cancers and HIV thanks to the lentinan present in this mushroom. This statement must be put into perspective: it is more of a treatment support. Research is underway to verify the veracity of these statements.
