Lion’s Mane Mushrooms

Lion’s Mane Mushrooms

Lion’s Mane Mushrooms are a white, shaggy specialty mushroom, found in specialty stores along with Oyster and Shiitake. Prominent in Eastern Asia, they are used in Traditional Chinese medicine for insomnia.

We love this side dish with mayo meals, such as Port Basted Rotisserie Chicken and Rotisserie Prime Rib.

Lion’s Mane Mushrooms

We prefer the meatier and flavourful specialty mushrooms to the household white.

There are very little Carbs in mushrooms. Lion’s Mane has 7 CHO /100 Grams, which is a substantial amount of mushrooms, once the stems is removed.

The mushrooms pick up the flavors they are cooked in. We much prefer Tamari compared to Soy Sauce. Tamari is less salty with a richer umami flavor while Soy is sharper with more of a bite.
