Lentinula edodes, the brown-capped mushroom that gives East Asian broths their savoury backbone. Dried and powdered here, which concentrates both the flavour and the nutrients.
Brings B vitamins, copper and selenium along with beta-glucan fibre. Shiitake is one of the few plant foods that makes vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, though how much survives processing varies enormously.
Dried shiitake is available in most Indian cities now and rehydrates in twenty minutes. Any mushroom you cook regularly does a similar nutritional job.
Paired with maitake; both are whole mushrooms rather than isolated extracts.
KABO does not publish a milligram-by-milligram breakdown of every micronutrient, so this page describes what the ingredient is and what it is needed for rather than how much of it a serving contains. The full ingredient list is printed on every pack and set out at kabo.co.in/pages/ingredients. This is general nutrition information, not medical advice — if you are pregnant, managing a medical condition or taking medication, talk to your doctor before changing what you take.
