Our mushrooms are freeze-dried, not just dehydrated — and that makes a big difference!
Freeze drying preserves mushrooms at their peak freshness, locking in flavor, nutrients, and texture far better than traditional dehydration. While dehydrating uses heat (which can break down vitamins and flavor compounds), freeze drying uses cold temperatures and a vacuum to gently remove moisture — keeping everything you love about fresh mushrooms intact.
The result?
- Better taste and aroma
- Longer shelf life
- Higher nutritional value
- They reconstitute faster and better when you’re ready to use them
If you care about quality, freeze-dried is the way to go!

SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS
HEALTH BENEFITS: Shiitake mushrooms are known for their immune-boosting properties. They’re rich in B vitamins, copper, and selenium, which support energy production, brain health, and antioxidant defense. Shiitakes may also help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels and blood circulation. Their natural antimicrobial and antiviral compounds make them a popular choice in traditional medicine.
FLAVOR PROFILE: Shiitake mushrooms have a deep, savory umami flavor that intensifies when dried. They’re earthy, meaty, and slightly smoky, with a rich aroma that adds depth to any dish. When rehydrated, they regain a satisfying, slightly chewy texture, making them a favorite in both plant-based and meat-based meals.
HOW TO ENJOY SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS:
*Sauté: sauté with olive oil, butter, garlic, salt, pepper, soy sauce, or sesame oil for a flavorful side or stir-fry base.
*Add to Soups & Ramen: Use in broths, miso soup, or ramen to add richness and umami.
*Include in Rice & Grain Dishes: Mix into risotto, wild rice, or farro for added texture and flavor.
*Use in Dumplings or Stir-Fries: Chop finely and mix into dumpling fillings or pair with vegetables and tofu in stir-fries.
*Grind into Powder: Dried shiitake can be ground into a seasoning powder to sprinkle over popcorn, roasted veggies, or meat dishes for a burst of umami.
