What it is

Shiitake mushroom powder is made from dried shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes). The mushrooms are dried and then ground into a fine powder. It is used to add a rich, savory, umami flavor to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use shiitake mushroom powder primarily as a flavor enhancer, adding a deep, earthy, and umami taste. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, marinades, spice blends, and savory snacks.

Health notes

Shiitake mushroom powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated mushrooms and their components. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience digestive upset or skin reactions, though this is uncommon at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Shiitake mushrooms are fungi and are not related to the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten-free.
