Mushrooms - Shiitake

Shiitaki Dried Mushrooms

These Japanese mushrooms grow wild on the Shii tree. Although Asian cuisine values mushrooms more for their perceived healing attributes, these mushrooms have a delightful strong, smokey flavor that can be paried with richer and more spicy foods than most mushrooms. Due to their dense texture, they also rehydrate well enough to substitute for fresh.

We also carry powdered Shiitake, which is an easy way to add mushroom flavor to anything - soups, sauces, salad dressing, prepared foods, or anywhere you want mushroom flavor without the texture.
