Pure, Deep Umami.
Octarine Organics Sun-Dried Shiitake are organic shiitake mushrooms grown on oak logs in Nagaland from indigenous strains, then sun-dried to concentrate their flavour and nutrients.
Ethically sourced from local farmers and self-help groups, they bring a deep, savoury umami to soups, broths, stir-fries, noodles and rice, along with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

The Spirit of the Rain-Washed Forest
The elder Talaputa told his mind of the places it would go: peak or slope or open glade, or forest freshly sprinkled by the rains.
These mushrooms grew slowly on oak logs in the green hills of Nagaland. What if, as you soak them, you pictured that rain-washed forest, and cooked with a little of its unhurried patience?
We make no promises of cures. Healing is the business of nature and of your own being. But food grown slowly is worth cooking slowly.
