Among the most delicious and nutritious snacks are these special "chips" containing the beneficial shiitake mushroom. A ready-to-eat dried version, suitable for any time of day; as a hunger buster or as a versatile ingredient to add to Asian-inspired dishes. Shiitake is typical of Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine, and in this version it evokes local flavors. The mushrooms are treated with coconut oil, also an Asian tradition, in a process that preserves their flavor and concentrates their nutrients. The symphony of crunchiness, dry and firm, is enriched with a pinch of salt at the end.
This mushroom contains a unique combination of nutrients, so much so that in Japanese and Chinese culture it is considered a beneficial food, among the healthiest. Shiitakes contain vitamins A, B2, B12, C, and D. They also contain essential trace elements such as calcium, copper, iron, selenium, zinc, and manganese. The mushroom is also rich in dietary fiber and enzymes, considered beneficial for digestion. It contains proteins, including nine essential amino acids.
The nutritional properties of shiitake mushrooms support the body's natural defenses, stimulating the immune system. These satiating and naturally nutrient-rich chips are therefore a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips.
Thanks to their "chip" shape, they can be included in the diet as a crunchy snack to stave off hunger pangs between meals and provide beneficial nutrients. They can be added to more original appetizers or salads, where shiitake mushroom chips provide a more substantial, meaty, and light texture. In any case, they are a great resource as light and healthy snacks, easy on the digestion and offering a satisfying and authentic taste. Chips can be an original addition to dishes, adding their flavor to cheeses and vegetables. The umami flavor of shiitake mushrooms is rich, with earthy and slightly smoky notes, perfect for pairing with vegetables and legumes in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. They pair well with spicy sauces for a delicious snack. For an original touch, shiitake mushroom chips can be used to garnish risottos, grain-based dishes, cream soups, and savory pies.

The Lentinula Edodes macro-mushrooms are native to Asia and are now widely consumed worldwide due to their edibility. They originated in East Asia, especially in the forests of Japan, where they grow wild—not on the ground, but on the decaying wood of certain trees. For the mushrooms to thrive, they require hardwood (such as chestnut, oak, or maple) and specific temperature and humidity conditions. Their name derives from a particular tree on which they grow, the Japanese tsuburajii, with a fusion in the script between the symbol for tsubura jii (shii) and that for mushroom (take).
While they are mentioned in Japan as early as the 2nd century AD, they were described as present in China in the 3rd century and were appreciated over time as far away as Southeast Asia.
In addition to their spontaneous growth, with harvesting that took place from decaying trees, in Japan these mushrooms have also been cultivated for centuries following a particular method. When cut tsuburajii trunks were inserted into areas where shiitake mushrooms grew, the latter would also proliferate on the trunks. This gave rise to the cultivation of wild mushrooms in the forests, called yama shiitake.
Over time, cultivation was refined to meet the ever-increasing demand for mushrooms, with more intensive production systems. An older method, dating back to the late 18th century, was joined by another developed in the early 20th century from the studies of mycologist Shozaburo Minura. Production moved away from the forests, using mushrooms and logs on farms. However, it takes two years for them to begin growing, with two harvests per year, as the mushrooms must break down the hardwood of the logs to obtain the necessary nutrients. Other methods increase the number of annual harvests, using a mixture of sawdust and wood chips instead of logs.
