About

There are few natural vegan forms of vitamin D. Several online publications, however, report that sun-dried shiitake mushrooms are excellent sources of this vital nutrient; these naughty-sounding fungi soak up UV rays faster than a Jersey Shore castmember.

Soy milk is also a good source of vitamin D. Correction: soy milk with vitamin D added is also a good source of vitamin D.

I’ve combined these two powerhouses into a potent concoction that will fight Ricketts while also warming you, body and soul. Serve with a side of crusty bread.
