Did you know that Shiitake mushrooms contain high levels of potassium, magnesium, copper, B vitamins and vitamin D? They have all the essential amino acids, rivaling meat as a complete protein (amazing). You can add this wonderful (and delicious) nutrition to many recipes from breads and salads,. to meats and eggs, to sauces and smoothies.
Laura Dahl of Dahl’s Farms and I have just launched Terra’s Table – a website that sells carefully prepared powdered mushrooms that can be used in all of your cooking. Terra’s Table Mushroom Powder is available in two blends; Shiitake and a mixed medley called the Power Blend (Shiitake, Oyster, Lion's Mane & Maitake) Both blends are made from the finest, natural mushrooms, expertly dried, and powdered to create a nutrient dense, all natural real food supplement. Each package of mushroom powder contains approximately ½ teaspoon per day for one month. What a GREAT way to eat your mushrooms EVERY day!
