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!

WINE CAP MUSHROOMS
HEALTH BENEFITS: Wine cap mushrooms are a nutrient-dense, immune-supporting mushroom rich in antioxidants, fiber, and B vitamins. They contain compounds that may help fight inflammation and support the body’s natural detoxification process. Wine caps are also a good source of potassium, iron, and phosphorus, which contribute to heart health, energy production, and strong bones. Their prebiotic fiber can support gut health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria.
FLAVOR PROFILE: Wine cap mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor with mild notes of potato, artichoke, red wine, and nutty undertones. Their texture is firm and meaty when cooked, especially the thick stems, which hold up beautifully in hearty dishes. When sautéed or roasted, they develop a savory, umami depth similar to portobellos or shiitake.
HOW TO ENJOY WINE CAP MUSHROOMS:
* Sauté or Roast: Slice and sauté with garlic, butter, and herbs, or roast with olive oil and salt for a crispy, caramelized finish.
* Grill or Skewer: Their firm texture makes them perfect for grilling—add to veggie skewers or cook whole caps over an open flame.
* Add to Stir-Fries & Grain Bowls: Toss into rice bowls, farro salads, or stir-fries for extra flavor and texture.
* Use in Soups & Stews: Their hearty structure holds up well in brothy dishes like soups, chowders, or mushroom stew.
* Grind into Powder: Dehydrate and grind into a powder to use as a savory seasoning or umami boost in sauces, gravies, and rubs.
