Maitake (Hen of the Woods)

Rich, earthy flavor with woodsy, umami notes. Firm, feathery texture with clustered fronds. Wonderful roasted until crispy, sautéed with garlic, or added to soups and stews. Their complex flavor deepens with cooking. Excellent in grain bowls, alongside roasted meats, or as a pizza topping. Prized in traditional wellness practices.
