Shiitake Mushroom Powder | High-Quality Mushroom Extract for Natural Wellness | 60g

Shiitake, or Dong Gu as it’s known in Chinese, has been a favourite in Asian kitchens for centuries. It’s one of those mushrooms that has crossed the line between food and tradition – celebrated for its deep, savoury taste and long history in both cooking and herbal use. Our Shiitake Mushroom Powder makes it easy to bring that same richness into your own meals at home, without the need for soaking or chopping.

We take care in how our shiitake is sourced, choosing mushrooms grown in conditions that let them fully develop their natural depth of flavour. Once dried and finely ground, the result is a powder rich in the unmistakable umami that shiitake is so well known for. It slips easily into soups, sauces, and stir-fries, giving them instant depth. With nothing added and nothing taken away – no fillers, no preservatives – it’s simply pure mushroom, straightforward and versatile.

For everyday cooking, it’s an effortless way to add depth of flavour. A teaspoon stirred into broth can completely change the dish. For those who like to explore functional foods, Shiitake also brings with it a reputation for being nutrient-rich and grounding, connecting you with a tradition that spans cultures and generations.

Why Cook with Shiitake Mushroom Powder?

Nutrient variety – Shiitake naturally contains B vitamins, minerals such as copper and selenium, and other compounds often discussed in wellness circles.
Part of daily vitality – While best known as a cooking mushroom, Shiitake is also recognised in traditional food culture as a nourishing ingredient that supports balance when enjoyed regularly.
Gentle on the kitchen routine – Rather than chopping or rehydrating dried mushrooms, the powder format is quick, clean, and ready to use.
Creative in the kitchen – Add it to savoury breads, crackers, or even homemade veggie burgers for a subtle richness that keeps people guessing what your “secret ingredient” is.

How to Use Shiitake Mushroom Powder

Start with 1–2 teaspoons of this functional mushroom powder, depending on taste. Stir it into soups, broths, and sauces for an instant savoury lift. Mix it into marinades, add it to stir-fries just before serving, or experiment with baking recipes if you want to try something different. Because it blends easily, you can add it to smoothies and juices too, though it really shines in hot, savoury dishes.

Please note: do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Always enjoy as part of a balanced diet. Not suitable if you have mushroom allergies. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have dietary concerns, speak with a professional before use.
