Shimeji are mushrooms of Japanese origin with delicate butter and walnut taste, gaining on popularity.
They exist in many varieties, the most popular of which are Bunapi Shimeji and Buna Shimeji. These mushrooms stand out for their high content of iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and make for a good source of these elements. Importantly, these mushrooms should not be eaten raw, as they have a bitter taste, while nutrients are best absorbable once the mushrooms are cooked.
