Shiitake Mushrooms 

This cultivated mushroom from Japan and China has been considered a elixir of life for over 2000 years, being grown on freshly cut wood from leafy trees.

Aside from its undeniable culinary qualities, being a staple in numerous soup and stir-fry recipes, the medicinal properties of shiitake mushrooms are due to a component called lentinan, a polysaccharide that regenerates and strengthens the body's defenses in a surprising way, especially against viruses and cancer cells.
