Dried Shiitake Mushroom Stock (Low-Sodium)

Dried Shiitake Mushroom Stock (Low-Sodium) is a clear, savory broth made by simmering mushrooms (and often vegetable scraps) to extract their umami flavor; it’s used widely in European and Asian cuisines as a base for soups, risottos, sauces and braises. Because it concentrates mushroom flavor without heavy fats or calories, it’s valued as a light way to add depth to dishes while keeping overall sodium low when prepared as a low-salt version. Nutritionally it contributes small amounts of minerals and B vitamins — for example it supplies about 130mg of potassium per 100g — and provides modest protein from the mushroom solids. As a cooking ingredient it boosts savory taste and provides trace micronutrients; it’s a useful, low-calorie flavoring that can help reduce reliance on salt or high-fat stocks in recipes.Read more
