Lion's Mane
Lion’s mane mushrooms have a delicate, slightly sweet, and seafood-like flavor, often compared to crab or lobster when cooked. They are commonly sautéed, grilled, or used in stir-fries, pasta, or creamy sauces, and are also popular as a meat substitute due to their firm, shredded texture. Lion’s mane is rich in potassium, zinc, and small amounts of protein, along with B vitamins like thiamine and riboflavin. Its bioactive compounds, including hericenones and erinacines, are studied for their neuroprotective effects, promoting nerve growth, cognitive support, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
