Shiitake — Lentinula edodes

Shiitake is prized for its rich, savory umami flavor and firm, slightly chewy texture. The dark, umbrella-shaped caps add depth and visual complexity to a wide range of dishes — a cornerstone of East Asian cuisine for over a thousand years.

In restaurant kitchens, shiitake excels stir-fries, soups, broths, and ramen, particularly across Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cooking. Fresh caps can be sautéed, grilled, or roasted, enhancing noodle dishes, rice bowls, and pan sauces. Their robust structure makes them ideal for both vegetarian preparations and as a complement to red meat, poultry, and seafood.

Origin: Locally grown in Sweden by Nelumbo Labs AB Storage: Refrigerate at 2–4 °C. Best consumed within 7–10 days of delivery. Pricing: All prices are per kilogram (SEK/kg). Note: Mushrooms may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Shiitake should be eaten fully cooked.
