Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms worldwide.
Finely chopped and stir-fried, cooked in a white sauce and poured onto a fish or chicken, or baked in a stuffing, the Pioppino mushroom imparts a mild but satisfying, pork-like flavor.
For longest shelf life, we recommend storing in a paper bag in the fridge. They can also be stored frozen.
If mushrooms dry up, they are still usable. Especially in a sauce or soup. If you see a white fuzz, especially at the base of the stems, that is the mycelium growing out. That is also edible. The thing to watch for are sliminess, strong orders, and non-white fuzz.
Comes to us from Chesed Farms (Walla Walla) via Walla Walla Food Hub. The word “Chesed” is defined as: Lovingkindness, the idea of faithful love in action and often in the refers to God’s lovingkindness expressed in His covenant relationship with His people. God’s chesed-love denotes persistent and unconditional tenderness, kindness, and mercy, a relationship in which He seeks after man with love and mercy. This captures the spirit of why we operate a local farm. To show love to our neighbors and community through providing nutritious, healthy, conscious food.
