The kikurage mushroom has long been prized
in China for its effectiveness in promoting
youth and long life
.
In its dried state kikurage are a rich store
of vitamin D in particular and also contain
vitamins B1 and B2.
Nutrition institutes have recently reported
that kikurage ranks second among food products
in vegetable fiber and that it has three times as much iron as liver and twice
as much calcium as milk.
We do not hesitate to recommend kikurage
as a nutrition supplement for our graying
societies.

Black Fungus (Kikurage) Drawing the Attention
of Medicaland NutritionAuthorities
 |
Dr. Shuichi Kimura |
"Black fungus is the health mushroom containing the micronutrients that Japanese tend not to take enough of."
Black fungus is a precious cooking ingredient
that has long been prized in China for its
anti-aging and longevital effects. We have
known for some time that this is a mushroom
with a great deal of calcium, but it is only
recently that it has drawn attention for
its nutritional value. We now know that it
contains a great deal of iron and is a treasurehouse
of vitamin D in particular. Considering that
it contains vitamins B1 and B2, which Japanese
tend not to take enough of, and considerable
dietary fiber, black fungus should prove
to be an extremely useful foodstuff in the
diet of our ageing society.

Dr. Toshio Chiba |
"No other foodstuff contains as much vitamin D and calcium as black fungus."
A succession of reports at recent international academic meetings have noted that taking sufficient vitamin D and calcium is effective in increasing bone density and decreasing the frequency of bone fractures, and is now beginning to draw attention as a preventative for osteoporosis. No other foodstuff contains as much vitamin D as black fungus and only milk contains more calcium, and I recommend eating it actively.

2,000 years ago the Chinese black fungus
was prized as a high-grade nutrient. In recent
years its effects as an herbal medicine have
been acknowledged. It contains nutrients
that we tend not to take enough of on a daily
basis. Black fungus has the double effect
of both curbing overeating and supplying
required nutrients. Black fungus is part
of a healthy diet and a healthy beauty aid
as well.
