**IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD CHICKEN OF THE WOODS BEFORE IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ONLY HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT TO START BECAUSE THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH EVERYONE. CHICKEN OF THE WOODS ARE SAFE TO EAT WHEN COOKED PROPERLY BUT CAN CAUSE DIGESTIVE ISSUES WHEN THEY ARE EATEN RAW OR UNDERCOOKED.
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!
**DO NOT EAT RAW. PLEASE COOK FULLY BEFORE CONSUMING.
