Shiitake mushrooms are prized for their deep, smoky flavor and chewy, meaty texture. They're a staple in Asian cuisines but shine in any dish needing umami—try them in stir-fries, broths, or simply sautéed with garlic. Remove the tough stems before cooking (they’re great for making stock!). Store in a paper bag in the fridge. Grown in Goderich at Weth Mushrooms.
