Health & Safety
Health & Safety
Shiitake mushrooms are known for their potential immune-supportive and cardiovascular benefits, containing lentinan and natural beta-glucans. However, these mushrooms should always be cooked thoroughly before consumption, as raw or undercooked Shiitake can occasionally cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Caution: Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications.
