Dried CCOF Organic Maitake

Grifola frondosa Product of California Also known as Hen of the Woods, Maitake mushrooms are beloved for their smoky, meat-like flavor. Maitake smells great and tastes even better. It can be used to make savory mushroom broth, or cooked into any dish where fresh mushrooms are called for. Its culinary uses are endless, but our favorite is ramen! Far West Fungi creates this line of dried mushrooms by air-drying a select portion of its fresh organic and wild foraged mushrooms. All drying is done in-house at our 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.
