Product Description

Brown Shimeji mushrooms are cultivated edible mushrooms recognised by their small brown caps, slender stems, and clustered growth habit. They are widely used in East Asian cuisine and are valued for their firm texture and savoury, mildly nutty flavour when cooked.

Brown Shimeji mushrooms are suitable for stir-fries, soups, hot pots, noodle dishes, rice dishes, sauces, and a variety of vegetarian and meat-based recipes. They are generally cooked before consumption; raw shimeji mushrooms can have a bitter flavour and are not recommended for eating raw.

Blue Jay Oriental Foods supplies Thai-origin fresh produce for importers, wholesalers, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and foodservice distributors. Product grading, packaging, and order quantities can be confirmed with the supplier before shipment.
