We get asked a lot : Why Shiitake Mushrooms?

Shiitake “The elixir of life”
(Lentinula edodes)

Shiitake mushrooms are not only delicious when sautéed in garlic (along with your dark leafy vegetable of choice), they are now proven to possess serious antiviral and antibacterial properties. Shiitakes are rich in polysaccharides that contain a compound known as lentinan, which helps to fortify your immune system. They also contain a number of beta-glucans that are shown to boost the production of white blood cells, strengthening your body’s resistance to harmful germs and toxins in your environment.

These beta-glucans also have beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, particularly on the digestive system – which is where much of your immune system lives. One of these beta-glucans known as eritadenine is also shown to reduce cholesterol and promote heart health.

Stack on the number of B-vitamins, amino acids and fiber that shiitake contains and you’ve got yourself quite a mushroom!

Sharlebel Break Away!

The Sharlebel team encountered a few stressful challenges during the past two months. During this time, I realized that our capacity to adapt and be innovate despite all the challenges makes us a formidable team.
Last week, we (Charlene, Elma and myself) agreed that we definitely need a break to escape and re-energize. We decided on a day out to the Outeniqua Moon & The Heavy Draft Horse Foundation farm, the home of the heavy draft horses. We spent the day between these gentle giants as the host, Christine, called them. This was exactly what we needed to unwind! It's true - there is healing to the touch of horses!
We took a scenic carriage ride, spent time with these magnificent horses and met Shadowfax, the biggest horse in Africa. The rest of the day, we relaxed with a picnic basket and a glass of wine next to the pool.

If you ever in Mossel bay area, please visit Outeniqua Moon & The Heavy Draft Horse Foundation. The passion everybody on the farm has for these horses are amazing!

SharLeBel is not allowed to use the "B" word anymore for our favorite snack!

South Africa’s Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has banned the use of meat-like terms on plant-based product labels. Globally accepted but not in South Africa. Hmm ..? Mushroom Biltong is against the law and yes we have to change our product name and with immediate effect !

Some changes to be made! Watch out for our "Shroom Snacks" - available soon!!

And our famous Satire Cartoonist just nailed it again!

Second Soup Test : Veggie
June is winter in the Western Cape – cold rainy weather! Soup time!
This is for our local customers in Mossel bay Area! Pick-a-Veg has launched their new range of Pre-pared soups! We decided to buy 3 mixes beginning of the week.
• Potato & Leek
• Veggie
• Butternut & Chick Pea
You don’t want to miss our feedback in the next few days!

Warning! This turn out totally different. When we open this veggie pack (again all veggies pack in layers and not mixed!), my mood changed from soup to stir-fry. The veggies are so crispy fresh, even after I bought it on Monday, and I could not resist the veggie stir-fry served with noodles.

It seemed a perfect time to test Sharlebel’s new product – Smoked Chilli Relish in Oil. The smokiness of the chillies are perfect and even add a subtle smokiness to the oil. We use Jalapenos, Seranos and Cayenne chillies for this mix. This is absolutely delicious! Soon be available in the market.

The soups is available at their Granny Di's outlet store (Thurs to Sun) at HART & BOSCH Village You can also buy your Sharlebel Wild Mushroom Spice at Granny Di or at Smokehouse Deli Fraaiuitsig. Or come and visit us at Outeniqua Family Market George for tasting of our full range.

First Soup Test : Potato & Leek
It is beautiful packed – I love the fact that the vegetables are not mixed together. When I opened it, the first I realized it is crispy fresh! I decided to add Sharlebel’s Wild Mushroom Spice to this soup. The rich taste of the Shiitake Mushroom just compliment the potato and leek vegetables! A must for the winter!

Earlier this month we had to deliver a larger order of the Smoked Shiitake Mushroom Salt to one of our customers. What a perfect time to test our new smoker! We can still double the shelves in this.

And then we received our new labeling machine to ensure that we could label over 2000 bottles within a day or two!! Thank you Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) Lianda Landman for making our production process easier and for believing in Small Entrepreneurs!

What a beauty!

Let’s take this time to admire a Macrolepiota procera, the parasol mushroom, . This edible mushroom can grow o up to 50 cm wide and tall and is found global in temperate zones
Found as solitaries or if you “ hit the lottery” , a fairy ring

In order to design the perfect substrate for commercial and industrial mushroom cultivation, you would require analytical data of all potential ingredients

Always send a small dry sample of each potential ingredient to an accredited analytical laboratory and ask for carbon, nitrogen, moisture content (all in percentages) and pH analyses. Then use the Mushroom Substrate Design Calculator to calculate the perfect formulation which will guarantee the highest possible biological efficiency, also known as yield

Make sure you use the outcome of your analyses and not the published substrate ingredient averages, as this might influence your yield
