Organic Maitake (Hen of the Woods) Mushrooms (6 oz)

Approx. 6 oz

Hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, commonly called maitake in Japanese cuisine, have deep roots in both Chinese and Japanese culinary and medicinal traditions. These distinctive fungi have recently attracted attention for their potential benefits in supporting cancer patients during treatment and chemotherapy, though they're equally prized by food enthusiasts for their meaty, substantial texture and rich, forest-like taste. Simply tear these mushrooms into pieces by hand—no cutting tools required—then pan-fry or sauté the fragments to enhance grain bowls or tacos, or alternatively, leave the cluster intact and sear it whole for a satisfying mushroom "steak" that delivers crispy edges with a tender, chewy interior.
