Dried Agaricus Blazei Mushrooms

Premium Agaricus Blazei Mushrooms
Deep umami, deep roots in wellness.

Agaricus blazei — also known as Himematsutake, Almond Mushroom, or the “Mushroom of the Sun” — is both a gourmet ingredient and a celebrated medicinal species. With a naturally sweet, nutty aroma (often compared to almonds) and a rich, meaty depth when cooked, it adds intensity and character to broths, stews, and sauces.

Traditionally used in Brazilian and Japanese folk medicine, blazei is packed with beta-glucans and other bioactive compounds studied for their potential immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects. It’s been associated with overall immune support, metabolic balance, and gut health — making it a rare mushroom that excels in both the kitchen and the apothecary.

When dried, blazei mushrooms become compact and aromatic. Once rehydrated, they deliver a dense bite and a powerful base flavor ideal for long simmers or reductions.

Rehydration Instructions:
Soak in warm water for 20–30 minutes. Strain and reserve the soaking liquid — it's loaded with earthy, almond-like flavor. Rinse gently before cooking.

Ways to Use:

• Blazei-infused broth for ramen or pho
• Braised with root vegetables and soy
• Added to risottos or mushroom rice
• Creamy sauces with garlic, shallot, and white wine
• Ground into powder for soups, stocks, or capsules

Bold, grounding, and functional — Agaricus blazei brings a sense of depth and nourishment to whatever you’re cooking or creating.
