{"product_id":"shiitake-mushrooms","title":"Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirm brown Shiitake Mushrooms deliver dense texture, deep umami, woodsy aroma, and beautifully caramelized surfaces under high heat. Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms feature rounded brown caps with dense, firm flesh and pale stems that are noticeably firmer than the caps. Their fresh aroma is earthy and woodsy, while cooking intensifies the mushroom’s deep savory character and natural umami. The caps retain a satisfying chew as moisture cooks away, developing caramelized surfaces and lightly crisp edges. Thicker slices remain juicy and substantial, while thinner pieces brown more quickly and become crisper. The firmer stems benefit from finer slicing or longer cooking. Shiitake’s combination of concentrated flavor, structure, and browning makes it especially compelling in warm composed dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCATEGORY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mushrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiitake Mushrooms, strain 3790 provisional production strain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOTANICAL NAME:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lentinula edodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 oz of freshly harvested whole Shiitake Mushrooms, growing substrate trimmed away, packaged unwashed for freshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTORAGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep refrigerated at approximately 32–36°F in the original package, protecting the mushrooms from excess moisture and condensation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBEST ENJOYED WITHIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Within 7–10 days of delivery for peak firmness, fresh aroma, dense texture, and cooking quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LivFarms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50565595889743,"sku":"LF-MU-SHII-4OZ","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/2132\/7439\/files\/Shiitake_Mushroom.svg?v=1791914931","url":"https:\/\/livfarmersmarket.com\/products\/shiitake-mushrooms","provider":"LivFarms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
