Healthy, because
Shiitake mushrooms, which originate from Asia, contain the vasodilating adenosine, which can also promote blood circulation in the heart. The triterpenes from the mushroom have an antiviral and antibacterial effect and can therefore offer protection against colds and flu-like infections.

Shopping tip for shiitake mushrooms: The mushrooms should be plump and juicy and not dried out. They taste best fresh, but they can also be wrapped loosely in paper and kept in the fridge for a few days.
