Organic Dried Maitake Mushrooms

Maitake mushrooms have been increasing in popularity over the last 5 years for both their culinary and medicinal uses. It is beloved for its smoky, roasted meat flavor, and its powerful immune-boosting benefits. It can be used as an herbal supplement, made into tea, or cooked into any dish where fresh mushrooms are called for.

Far West Fungi creates this line of dried mushroom by air-drying a select portion of its fresh organic and wild foraged mushrooms. All drying is done in-house at their own commercial kitchen, where great care is taken to preserve the natural essence of the mushroom.  The result is a powerful, concentrated mushroom product, free from sodium, preservatives, or any other additive. It’s simple and pure: mushroom essence and nothing else.

Dried mushrooms can be reconstituted in any kind of warm liquid (wine, broth, cream, etc.) for 15 - 20 minutes, and then used in any application in which fresh mushrooms are called for. Try them as a base for soups and sauces, combine with eggs in a scramble or omelet, cook into a risotto, or toss with pasta.
