Dried mushrooms (mix of porcini and boletus)

Description

Dried mushrooms (a mix of porcini and boletus) have an intense, concentrated umami flavor — earthy, slightly nutty, and deeply aromatic. They appear as dark brown, wrinkled pieces or slices with a rigid, brittle structure that regain firmness and rich aroma after soaking. They are low in calories, rich in fiber, protein, and B vitamins, as well as minerals such as potassium and selenium; they also contain antioxidants and beta-glucans that support immunity and metabolic health. They are perfect for soups, risottos, sauces, stews, fillings, and marinades; it's worth using the soaking water as a flavorful broth or grinding the mushrooms into powder as a seasoning. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from moisture; when well sealed, they can retain their aroma for many months.
