Shiitake Mushroom Paste

Shiitake Mushroom Paste is an umami-rich condiment common in East Asian cooking, made by concentrating shiitake mushrooms into a spreadable paste used to boost savory flavor in sauces, marinades and dressings. It is relatively low in calories and provides 2.5g of fiber per 100g, along with small amounts of protein and very little fat. Nutritionally it also contributes B-vitamins (notably niacin) and copper typical of shiitake mushrooms. Overall, this paste is a nutrient-dense way to add savory depth — it delivers good protein quality and fiber for a condiment and supplies useful micronutrients while remaining low in fat.
