Our

Knowledge

Our low-temperature-vacuum-extraction mushroom and vegetable chips have less oil and more nutrition than any traditionally processed snacks, the result of our exploration of the new vacuum-frying technology that allows us to revert chips back to their fresh forms via rehydration.

What does mushroom snack taste like?

Hear what our customers want to say!

“Glad I got the box! These mushroom snacks are great while working at your desk because they’re clean to eat (no crumbs and won’t make your fingers dirty) but it’s got satisfying hard crunch and they’re full of flavor. Only 3 ingredients, actually looks like it’s just dried & fried mushrooms with malt sugar (not high fructose corn syrup), and there’s no salt, no preservatives. Goes well with tea or coffee. They’re good until Jun 2022 but the box is half gone already.”
Maggie USA
“Love this product. The mushrooms are the actual size and shape of mushrooms, not chips, and have a fantastic crunchy quality to them (crispy and crunchy, not soft) The Wasabi flavor is the best of all the versions this company makes.”
Andy Glick
“This brand of mushroom snacks taste great! I’ve tried others before and didn’t care for the flavor. This brand is not overly pungent with the mushroom flavor. I’ve tried all the flavors and the wasabi is my personal favorite! Everyone in my household enjoys them, even my 15 month old! Also, great price for the size!”
Joe
“I ordered the shitake mushroom with wasabi flavor. The crispy crunchy mushroom are very tasty and delicious with a hint of the spicy wasabi. A quality snack at a great price. I will order more shitake mushroom chips with original and salty flavors.”
Amazon Customer

Mushrooms and Your Health

Anti-cancer

Scientists at City of Hope were some of the first to discover that mushrooms could suppress growth of breast cancer and prostate cancer cells in cell cultures and in animals. City of Hope researchers have conducted a small clinical trial in patients with prostate cancer.

Antioxidants and Immunity

Mushrooms are the leading source of the antioxidant nutrient selenium in the produce aisle. Antioxidants, like selenium, protect body cells from damage that might lead to chronic diseases and help to strengthen the immune system, as well[1]. In addition, mushrooms provide ergothioneine, a naturally occurring antioxidant that may help protect the body’s cells.

Weight Management

Mushrooms are hearty and filling. Preliminary research suggests increasing intake of low-energy-dense foods (meaning few calories given the volume of food), specifically mushrooms, in place of high-energy-dense foods, like lean ground beef, can be helpful with weight management as they promote daily energy by limiting fat intake and leaving you full and satiated after a meal.

Low Sodium and Saturated Fat

The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourages healthy dietary patterns that are low in saturated fat and sodium. Mushrooms are fat-free and low in sodium. Mushrooms’ inherent umami counterbalances saltiness and allows for less salt to be used in recipes.

Promising Antibacterial and Antiviral Effects

Several compounds in shiitake have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects.
As antibiotic resistance is growing, some scientists think it’s important to explore the antimicrobial potential of shiitake.
That said, while isolated compounds show antimicrobial activity in test tubes, eating shiitake is unlikely to have any effect on viral, bacterial, or fungal infections in people.

Strengthening your bones

Mushrooms are the only natural plant source of vitamin D.
Your body needs vitamin D to build strong bones, yet very few foods contain this important nutrient.
The vitamin D levels of mushrooms vary depending on how they’re grown. When exposed to UV light, they develop higher levels of this compound.
In one study, mice fed a low-calcium, low-vitamin-D diet developed symptoms of osteoporosis. In comparison, those given calcium and UV-enhanced shiitake had higher bone density.
However, keep in mind that shiitake provide vitamin D2. This is an inferior form compared with vitamin D3, which is found in fatty fish and some other animal foods.
