Brown Shimeji Mushrooms have piquant, savory aromas and a sharp, bitter flavor when fresh. When cooked, the texture is tender and chewy with a mild, herbal, and nutty flavor.

Brown Shimeji Mushrooms contain iron, zinc, copper, potassium, thiamin, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin. It’s important to note that uncooked Shimeji Mushrooms are not easily digested, and the nutritional components are rendered useless to the human body unless the mushroom is cooked.
