Shiitake and Maitake Mushrooms - Biggest immunity punch

Just have to suggest that you try maitake mushrooms. Not only do they taste good when sauted in butter or olive oil and garlic but they are good for keeping the "yin and yang" right in our bodies! Does eating maitake mushrooms protect the good cells while taking chemo therapy? Do your own research. I just had maitake mushrooms for dinner tonight. Yummy! I will take two maitake capsules in the morning hoping to keep my immune system in check. Need some? The Mushroom Cap has fresh maitake mushrooms daily. Also on hand are fresh shiitake, whites, portabellas, oyster and crimini.

Mushrooms

For centuries, people around the world have turned to mushrooms for a healthy immune system. Contemporary researchers now know why. "Studies show that mushrooms increase the production and activity of white blood cells, making them more aggressive. This is a good thing when you have an infection," says Douglas Schar, director of the Institute of Herbal Medicine in Washington. Shiitake and maitake mushrooms, now available fresh in U.S. supermarkets, appear to pack the biggest immunity punch. They're easy to use too. Just add a handful to pasta sauce, saute with a little oil and add to eggs, or heap triple-decker style on a frozen pizza. Good news for absent-minded chefs: "Basically, you can burn them, and they will still powerfully stimulate the immune system," says Schar.

The Mushroom Cap - Corporate Gift - What is PAs No.1 commodity?







The Mushroom Cap experienced a slow January as most retail establishments did. We hope that all can get through these tough economic times.
We have added our Number 1 product, Mushroom Chowder, to our ebay store along with two gift boxes which include marinated mushrooms (different flavors), our chowder and a KSQ soup mix. These items were most popular at Christmas but could be the perfect Birthday Gift, Anniversary Gift, Housewarming Gift, Thank You Gift, Corporate Gift or Just Because I Like You Gift. You may just want one for yourself.

Now you can also purchase dried Kennett Square shiitake and oyster mushrooms which can be purchased by the ounce.
Have you ever tried Mushroom Powder? Great product to use in sauces, soups, flavor your homemade pasta, use in meatloaf, scrambled eggs, etc. One of our customers has a son who does not like the texture of mushrooms. Mom wants her son to get the nutrients that mushrooms provide so she is now using Mushroom Powder! Loves it in her meatloaf!

We hope to see you soon! Visit our website. You will find a coupon for fresh mushrooms - you just have to make a $10 purchase. Valid for in-store purchases only.
