Dry Shiitake Mushrooms -
Ingredients Descriptions and Photos"We are dedicated to cruelty-free living through a vegetarian - vegan lifestyle. Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!"

(Shiitake Mushrooms, Dried) When reconstituted in water, shiitake mushrooms are medium to strong tasting
mushrooms with a distinctive taste and a chewy texture. We purchase these
dry shiitake mushrooms from the co-op in one pound packages (D'Allasandro)
because of their convenience and storability. Since they reconstitute very
quickly, we enjoy them in quickie soups, stir-fries, and steamed vegetable
dishes. See nutritional charts below for dry and
cooked shiitake mushrooms.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
