What it is

Dried mushrooms are whole or sliced mushrooms that have had most of their water content removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are typically produced by air-drying, oven-drying, or freeze-drying.

Why it's used

Dried mushrooms are used to add a rich, savory, umami flavor to a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in soups, stews, sauces, gravies, and noodle dishes. Manufacturers use them as a flavoring agent to enhance the taste profile of savory foods.

Health notes

Dried mushrooms are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of nutrients like B vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mushrooms and their components. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies.

Allergen info

Mushrooms are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
