The Chestnut Mushroom
Cooking with Chestnut Mushrooms
Chestnut mushrooms aren't just great for disease prevention—they're also packed with fiber, minerals, protein, and vitamins, making them a nutritious addition to any meal.
Food lovers describe the taste of cooked Chestnut mushrooms as mildly sweet, nutty, and rich. Our specialty, Pholiota adiposa, stays crunchy even after cooking, with an earthy flavor and a hint of pepper that adds a delightful finish.
These mushrooms are perfect for broths, cream sauces, and miso soups. Many chefs also enjoy searing them with butter and garlic for a tasty addition to salads.
