Dried mushroom mix
Description
Dried mushroom mix is an aromatic blend of various species, usually porcini, bay boletes, and chanterelles, with an intense, earthy umami flavor and a dark brown, wrinkled texture. After soaking, they regain a meaty texture and a deep bouquet of forest notes that enrich dishes with a complex, lasting aroma. Nutritionally, they are low in calories, a source of fiber, plant protein, and B vitamins, as well as minerals, especially selenium and potassium; they also contain antioxidants that support immunity and cell health. They are perfect for soups, risottos, sauces, fillings, one-pot dishes, and pasta — it’s worth soaking them before use and keeping the liquid as essence. Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool, and dark place, away from moisture; after a longer period, they can be kept in the fridge or freezer to preserve their aroma.
