Shiitake Mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms are cultivated mushrooms with broad brown caps, pale undersides, and a firm, meaty texture. They have a rich savory flavor and natural umami that becomes especially pronounced when cooked.
Shiitakes are widely used in Asian cuisines but are versatile enough for soups, sauces, pasta, grains, vegetables, and meat dishes. They are typically cultivated on hardwood logs or growing substrates.
