Look For Earthy Delights Dried Wild Morels at Amazon
16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. The first we tried were the morels – although you can certainly find much more expensive ones, I was very pleasantly surprised how good these were especially given the price of the entire box. Frankly, they tasted much better than expected. Next were the shiitake which are one of my favorite mushrooms and I tend to be very picky about them…most of the time I purchase them fresh but always keep some dried on hand for those “cooking emergencies” (I use a lot of shrooms when cooking). In fact, I had just ordered a pound of dried shiitake from another vendor…these were FAR surperior (unfortunately, I’m stuck with a pound of not so good ones…USA organic made at that!). Each has been equally pleasant and far in excess of my (admittedly modest) expectations. Frankly, these would easily pass for double the cost I paid…in fact, I liked this set so much, I hesitated to give it such a good rating because I was afraid they would jump the price up! As soon as I work through my present selection from the other inferior company, I intend to purchase more dried and fresh mushrooms from this Earthy. VERY impressed! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I’ve never rehydrated mushrooms before but it’s pretty easy and has some great benefits. While the texture isn’t the same as cooking with fresh mushrooms it lets you have all these varieties any time of the year and the “liquor” that you get from the water they rehydrate in is flavorful and great for using in sauces (sometimes the same recipe as the mushrooms). One caveat though – I had looked up instructions online and then compared them with the labels. I followed the instructions on the labels at first but found one important thing that the internet had suggested – you really do need to carefully wash these and strain the liquor if you’re going to use it. That’s because there IS sand and grit on a few of the mushrooms. (Overall they seem fairly clean, but I bit into a few grains of sand the first few times I used them because of skipping this step) Anyway, this is a FANTASTIC price and a great way to try these varieties if you never have since most aren’t available in a lot of grocery stores. My palate is inexperienced in most of these varieties but they seem good to me…nice big mushrooms that rehydrate well and are full of flavor. Finally, I did separately order a variety of other products from Earthy direct from their website. They have a lot of stuff there (sauces, spices, gourmet treats) and their other products are fantastic thus far as well. Watch prices though…although it’s nice to get all your little treats in one place, some items really are cheaper here on Amazon. service from Earthy is great as well…I would assume they’d treat Amazon orders as well as they treat their direct traffic. I had an issue (my fault) with an order from their website and they were incredibly helpful fixing it. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. |
