A company can't grow these Shiitake. Families living deep in the mountains grow Shiitake in unison with nature. We collaborate closely with the local community dedicated to naturally producing delicious Shiitake. Each of our growers' tailors and fine-tune their cultivation to the ever-changing weather and different micro-climates in their area. More information => Dedication to Natural Shiitake

Dried Shiitake creates THE 3RD UMAMI which is not present in most foods. Our dried Shiitake has the most Vitamin D content of any natural foods. Very Vegan friendly! For more details regarding the 3RD UMAMI chick hereVideo about UMAMI Basics.
