Shiitake Mushrooms cultivation started over 1000 years ago in the Far East. They grow in deep mountain areas with fresh clean air and are gathered when the mushroom top is 60-80% opened. Our premium Shiitake Mushrooms are hand-picked, sun-dried, and free of any additives. To prepare for cooking, soak the Shiitake in cold water for 2 hours before using in your favorites soups, stews, sauces, and more.

Lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera) originated in India and was brought to China over 600 years ago, then to Japan where it is known as “renkon”. The plant is a variety of water lily and has been considered as one of the most precious vegetables in East Asia and Japan. Our dried lotus root slices are made from premium lotus roots which are thoroughly washed, sliced, and dried. They are traditionally sun-dried without the use of any chemical additives. Dried lotus roots can be used to make lotus root tea or cooked and added to your soups, rice, or vegetable sauté.
