Maitake Mushrooms

This delicious mushroom is very high in protein and contains 15 amino acids. In 2009, a phase I/II human trial, conducted by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, showed Maitake could stimulate the immune systems of breast cancer patients. The Maitake takes on a nutty flavor when sautéed. Delicious paired with chicken, rice and pasta, or just about anything! Add it in bread recipes and focaccia or use as a pizza topping. It also adds great flavor to lasagna. Create a mushroom pesto and serve on crusty bread or spoon over pasta.

Re-hydrate by soaking in hot water for 30 minutes, drain and squeeze out excess water. 1 oz. package.
