#GROWING

🍄 HOW OUR MUSHROOMS ARE GROWN

Pure, local, and carefully cultivated from our grow room to your table.

  • 100% Natural: Straw-cultivated with zero added chemicals or preservatives.
  • Harvested at Peak: Picked by hand at optimal maturity for firm texture and rich, nutty flavor.
  • Preservative-Free: Our whole-dried oysters are gently low-temperature dehydrated to lock in nutrients, color, and natural umami without added sulfites or preservatives.

#SNACKING

😋 CHEWY, SAVORY & READY TO EAT Enjoy our whole-dried oyster mushrooms straight out of the pouch for a clean, whole-food boost.

  • Biltong-Style Snack: Satisfies that classic chewy, savory craving as a plant-based alternative to traditional beef biltong. Naturally rich in umami, even in the absence of added salt.
  • Zero Prep Required: Perfectly dehydrated at low temperatures, making them a convenient, mess-free, high-protein snack for on-the-go energy or trail mixes.
  • Whole-Food Fiber: Eating them whole delivers pure, undiluted prebiotic fiber to feed your gut microbiome while keeping you naturally satiated.

A Note on Digestive Sensitivity: While our whole-dried oyster mushrooms make a convenient, ready-to-eat snack, mushroom cell walls contain chitin — a tough, natural structural fiber that can be slow to digest. If consuming them raw straight from the pouch, start with small nibbles to test your stomach’s tolerance; while many digest chitin easily, others may experience mild bloating or cramps from dense, uncooked fiber. If you have a sensitive digestive system, rehydrating and thoroughly cooking your mushrooms with heat and moisture will break down this cellular structure for easier digestion.


#REHYDRATE

🍳 HOW TO REHYDRATE & COOK WHOLE-DRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS

Whole-dried oyster mushrooms are your secret kitchen weapon — delivering deep umami anytime.

⚖️ Rehydration Ratio: When soaked in warm water, dried oyster mushrooms absorb liquid and expand to 10 times their dry weight (for example, 20g of whole dried mushrooms yields roughly 200g of rehydrated mushrooms).

Quick Rehydration Step-by-Step:

  • Place desired amount of whole dried mushrooms in a heatproof bowl.
  • Cover with warm-to-hot water (or warm vegetable broth) for 15–20 minutes until plump and tender.
  • Gently squeeze out excess liquid. Save the soaking liquid! It is rich mushroom broth — perfect for risottos, soups, gravies, and sauces.

Best Culinary Uses:

  • Sauté with garlic and butter for pastas and grain bowls.
  • Toss whole directly into simmering stews, curries, and broths—they will rehydrate while absorbing surrounding flavors.
