Make it yours
Ecogenya Gourmet Shiitake is a 16:1 dual extract (enzymatic and hot water) of organic Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fruiting bodies — the same extraction as our standard Shiitake — milled fine so it melts into stock instead of sitting on top of it. It is part of our Gourmet everyday range, made as a culinary ingredient for people who actually cook with mushrooms.
Shiitake is the umami mushroom. Drying and extracting it concentrates the savoury, brothy character that makes dried Shiitake such a staple in Japanese and Chinese kitchens, and this powder gives you that depth without soaking, slicing or straining. We use fruiting bodies only, never grain-grown mycelium, and verify each batch at a minimum of 35% beta-glucans.
Flavour and how to use it: savoury, rich and distinctly umami. Whisk it into stocks, ramen broth, gravies, risotto, pasta sauce, marinades and rubs, or use it to round out a vegetarian dish that needs more body. A small spoonful goes a long way.
The most kitchen-forward mushroom in the Gourmet range, and the easiest one to start with.
