Benefits

Oyster mushrooms contain high levels of the amino acid & antioxidant compound ergothioneine which has been used to support conditions related to ageing. They contain beneficial B vitamins including riboflavin & niacin which are useful for promoting healthy red blood cells, skin and nervous system. They contain free radical busting flavonoids & phenolics. Furthermore they produce lovastatin in their spores, cap and gills, which has been shown to aid the lowering of blood cholesterol.

Beneficial Compounds include: ß-glucans, Pleuran (ß-D glucan), Lectins, Minerals (Potassium, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Zinc), Amino Acids, Vitamins B1, B2, B12, B5, C, D, E & K.

Rehydration Steps

To rehydrate, pop your dried Oyster Mushrooms into a bowl & fully cover with water. Place a plate or pan lid on top to keep them submerged.

For best results use room temperature water (takes 1-2 hours), or reduce the time to 20 mins using hot (not boiling) water, but you may lose some flavour. Drain, gently squeeze out any excess water, and cook just like fresh.

Rehydrates at up to 10:1 ratio.

Disclaimer

We truly believe that these amazing fungi contain a wealth of benefits for humankind. Research points firmly towards this. However, large scale studies in this field are sparse and as such, the validity of these claims remains as yet hard to verify.
