Yikes, it took 6 months to come with this but we think it reflects our love for our product.
Please feel free to comment, we are always open to constructive critizism.

We are almost ready to launch our single serve packaging. Send us an email if you are willing to test and comment on any of our soups.

Miso Soup

Shiitake mushrooms are found in a variety of cultures & cuisines. Russia produces and consumes large amounts of Shiitakes, although they are mostly sold pickled.
Of course the Shiitake has its home in Chinese & Japanese cuisines where you will find it in miso soup.
Try our very own version of miso soup aka Oriental soup.

High Cholesterol?

Research has shown that Shiitake mushrooms contain an amino acid called eritadenine, which is noted for lowering cholesterol. Findings indicated that adding shiitake to one’s diet helped lower blood cholesterol levels by almost 50 percent, especially in cases where high-cholesterol foods were eaten simultaneously with the mushroom.
