CHICKEN OF THE WOODS (Powder)
Quantities are limited. 100% wildcrafted fall 2021 in Maine, USA.
Dried Chicken of the Woods mushrooms are best suited as a flavoring for cooked applications. Unlike other mushrooms that can be reconstituted whole, Chicken of the Woods mushrooms develop a tough, generally unsuitable texture when rehydrated. We therefore sell only Chicken of the Woods powder.
Dried Chicken of the Woods powder is excellent in creamy dishes and sauces as a flavoring or binder. The powder can be stirred into soups, stews, and curries, or combined into gravies, sauces for roasted meats, casseroles, and risotto. Dried Chicken of the Woods mushroom powder can also be mixed with spices to create a savory meat rub, used with salt as an earthy seasoning, or incorporated as a stock base for ramen, chicken, or cream soups.
NO preservatives. NO artificial ingredients. NO artificial flavors. NO dyes. NO pesticides. NO imports. NO gluten. NO caffeine. Ever.
