Dried Shiitake Mushrooms — Organic (50g & 100g)

Organic Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) — whole dried shiitake caps, low-temperature dried to preserve their deep umami flavour and meaty texture. Certified organic. No additives, no preservatives.

Shiitake is one of the most widely used culinary mushrooms in the world, prized for its rich, savoury depth — the umami character that makes it a staple in East Asian cooking and, increasingly, in Western kitchens. Dried shiitake concentrate that flavour further than the fresh mushroom, making them a pantry essential for stocks, broths and slow-cooked dishes.

Flavour profile: Deep, savoury and meaty, with a distinctive umami richness. The drying process intensifies the flavour compared to fresh shiitake, and the soaking liquid itself becomes a flavourful stock base.

Culinary uses:

• Rehydrate first — soak in warm water for 20–30 minutes before cooking. Reserve the soaking liquid; it makes an excellent base for broths and sauces.
• Broths and stocks — a classic base for miso soup, ramen and other East Asian broths.
• Stir-fries — slice rehydrated caps and stir-fry with vegetables, garlic and ginger.
• Braises and stews — add to slow-cooked dishes for depth; the texture holds up well to long cooking.
• Sauces and gravies — finely chop and add to sauces for an umami boost.
• Ground into powder — grind dried caps into a seasoning powder for soups and rubs.

Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight.
