Matsutake Braised Pork

Overview

Matsutake is a rare and precious natural edible fungus, known as the king of fungi. According to legend, after the attack on Hiroshima in August 1945, the only multicellular microorganism that survived was the matsutake mushroom, which grows in alpine woodlands above 3,500 meters above sea level in the cold temperate zone. It was recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Jing Shi Zheng Lei Wu Ji Materia Medica". Studies have shown that matsutake is rich in protein, with 18 kinds of amino acids, 14 kinds of essential trace elements, 49 kinds of active nutrients, 5 kinds of unsaturated fatty acids, nucleic acid derivatives, peptides and other rare elements. It also contains three precious active substances, namely double-stranded matsutake polysaccharide, matsutake polypeptide and the world's unique anti-cancer substance - matsutake alcohol. It is the most precious natural medicinal fungus in the world
