Shiitake mushrooms are known for their spongy umbrella-shaped caps, wide open veils, tan gills, and curved woody stems.

Shiitake mushrooms are packed with umami flavour and have a rich, earthy taste. Their meaty texture makes them a perfect accompaniment to pasta, soups, entrée, stir-fires, or side dishes.

• Suggested Use

Shiitake mushrooms are hand-harvested at their peak freshness, giving them a longer shelf life. Store them in the fridge in their original packaging or a brown paper bag to keep them fresh.
