Tropical Wholefoods oyster mushrooms
Dried oyster mushrooms from Tropical Wholefoods are gorgeous!
Oyster mushrooms are high in some B vitamins and have a decent amount of phosphorous, iron, copper and potassium in them.
Columbian coffee farmers cultivate Tropical Wholefoods shiitake mushrooms on the waste matter left over from coffee production. The mushroom sales supplement their income from coffee. So enjoy these delicious mushrooms knowing they are good for you, the enviroment and the communities that produce them.
The taste
Oyster mushrooms have a pleasant velvety texture. They have a chickeny, oceany flavour and so can be used instead of chicken or fish in your cuisine. They go great with lime, ginger, sage, squashes, garlic and tamari.
What to do with oyster mushrooms
Once you've soaked them for five minutes, you can use them like ordinary mushrooms. The stems can be pretty tough, so you may want to remove them after soaking.
Try adding them to a raw, warm, soup before blending. Pop them into a "fried mushroom" mix of fresh chopped mushrooms, garlic
himalayan salt and olive oil, that you then dehydrate in a dehydrator for an hour or two.
Hydrated, then mixed with Chinese spices along with bok choy, julienne carrot, mung bean shoots and tamari, you will get a great raw Oriental chickeny dish. Warm it up in the dehydrator for extra pow!
Add to casseroles, stews, pies and anywhere else you'd use normal mushrooms.
