Mushroom flakes infuse a deep, earthy flavor into your dishes and can be a tremendous addition to your spice cabinet. They are merely dehydrated mushrooms, typically shiitake, and can impart complexity to any variety of cuisine, from soups to stir-fries, adding a rich umami essence.
These flakes are easily rehydrated or can be used in their dry state. They're an excellent alternative for fresh mushrooms when they're out of season or if one's looking to save on prep time, offering the mushroom's distinct taste without the chopping and cleaning.
