Slow-dried under natural heat and airflow, our sun-dried whole shiitake mushrooms develop a deeper, richer flavor than fresh or machine-dried varieties. This traditional drying process concentrates their natural umami, creating a bold, savory ingredient prized in kitchens around the world.
Sourced from trusted California growers and carefully dried to preserve quality, these whole shiitake mushrooms are perfect for broths, stir-fries, sauces, and slow-cooked dishes. Once rehydrated, they return to a meaty texture with an intense, earthy aroma that elevates any recipe.
Why you’ll love them:

How to use:
Soak in hot water for 20–30 minutes until fully rehydrated. Slice and add to soups, ramen, risotto, or sautéed dishes. Don’t discard the soaking liquid—it’s packed with flavor and makes an excellent base for stocks and sauces.
