Dried Morel mushrooms are a flavourful and versatile ingredient that can add depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes. These mushrooms are prized for their rich, earthy flavour and meaty texture, making them a popular choice among gourmet cooks and food lovers alike. These mushrooms are found in the wild and are highly sought after for their taste, making them a rare and special ingredient in many dishes.

When dried, morel mushrooms take on a concentrated flavour and aroma that intensifies their unique profile. They are often used in soups, stews, sauces and gravies to add a rich, savoury flavour and can also be rehydrated and used as a standalone ingredient in dishes like pasta or risotto.

To use dried morel mushrooms, simply soak them in hot water for 20-30 minutes until they are fully rehydrated. Once softened, they can be used in any recipe that calls for fresh morels, adding a deep, earthy flavour that is sure to impress.

Dried morel mushrooms have some advantages over fresh ones. Here are some reasons why:

  1. Intense flavour: Drying morel mushrooms removes the moisture content, intensifying their flavour and aroma. This means that dried morels have a more concentrated and richer flavour compared to fresh ones. This makes them a great ingredient to add to dishes where you want to enhance their earthy and nutty flavours.
  2. Longer shelf life: Fresh morel mushrooms have a short shelf life and need to be used within a few days of being harvested. Dried morels, on the other hand, can be stored for a long time, up to a year, without losing their flavour or texture. This means that you can have them on hand and use them whenever you need them.
  3. Convenience: Dried morels are easy to store and transport. They take up less space than fresh ones and are lightweight, making them a great option for camping trips or other outdoor adventures. Also, they can be easily rehydrated by soaking them in hot water for 20-30 minutes, making them ready to use in your favourite recipes.
  4. Availability: Morel mushrooms are a seasonal ingredient that is only available for a short time each year. Drying them extends their availability, making them accessible all year round. flavour

Whether you're a seasoned chef or an adventurous home cook, dried morel mushrooms are a must-have ingredient for anyone looking to elevate their cooking to the next level. So why not try them out today and discover the rich, complex flavours that only dried morels can provide?

The Morel Mushrooms may vary in size between 6 cm and 8 cm.

Origin: China

Drying mushrooms is the traditional way to preserve them for when they are out of season and the best way of drying mushrooms is to dry small whole mushrooms, just like these whole morels, dried to perfection and ready to use in soups and sauces.
