Month: December 2008

“Shiitake” is an edible mushroom very common in Asia. It is one of those things I always buy when I go to the supermarket, it’s yummy and you can put it together with almost whatever: pasta with shiitake, soup with shiitake, asparagus with shiitake, whatever with shiitake :). Shiitake has tons of vitamin D, and you can always find it in any supermarket all over the year since it is a species that can be cultivated pretty easily.
　
The other day I saw for the first time how “shiitake” are cultivated:
