Deep, Umami-Rich & Intensely Flavourful.
Our Dried Shiitake Mushrooms are a kitchen essential for anyone who loves bold, savoury depth in their cooking. Drying concentrates the natural umami flavour of fresh shiitake to create an ingredient with extraordinary richness — and the soaking liquid they produce is a deeply flavoured stock in its own right.
Why You'll Love Them
- 🍄 Intensely umami — a far deeper, richer flavour than fresh mushrooms
- 🌿 Pure & natural — no additives, preservatives, or artificial flavourings
- 💪 Nutritionally impressive — a natural source of B vitamins, copper, selenium, and immune-supporting compounds

How to Use Them
Rehydrate in warm water for 20–30 minutes until tender, then slice and use in stir-fries, soups, noodle dishes, risottos, and pasta. Don’t discard the soaking liquid — it makes a wonderfully rich, umami-packed stock. Alternatively, grind dried shiitake into a powder to use as a seasoning or flavour booster in sauces, gravies, and marinades.
