Shiitake mushrooms have umbrella-shaped caps, wide open veils, tan gills and curved stems. They are often described as having an earthy, smoky flavor and a rich, meaty yet buttery texture when cooked. It’s no surprise that they’re often found in a range of dishes that call for bold flavors, yet they’re right at home on evening pizzas and pasta dishes.
Shiitake mushrooms are rich in B vitamins and serve as a dietary source of vitamin D.
