Organic Chanterelle Mushroom Powder 3.5 oz (100g) – Wild Gourmet Seasoning for Soups, Risotto, Pasta, Potatoes, Steaks & Pizza – Natural Taste Booster, No Additives

This Chanterelle powder adds a nice mushroom flavor to just about anything you cook it in. It's an especially good add if you have a dish that already has mushrooms but they're just not forward enough for you. How much you add will depend on what you're cooking, but I found a well rounded teaspoon per 2-3 servings was a good start for something that didn't already have mushrooms in it. When I added some to already cooked beef rice-a-roni, the added mushroom flavor was enjoyable but I found the rice had a bit of grittiness to it. That was surprising to me considering how finely powdered this is, but I confirmed it using another with and without comparison. I conclude that this powder needs some time in liquid to fully soften up. I'm looking forward to trying this on pizza since I think the flavors will go well together. There's also a universal sauce recipe on the back of the package that looks interesting. I'm sure this is going to find it's way into lots of my cooking.

It took a while but I finally got the chance to make some mushroom risotto with this powder and it worked perfectly. It had a rich mushroomy taste that was fuller that just the whole mushrooms we added. The bag is nicely resealable so hopefully it will all stay nice and fresh and we can be adding mushroom to soups and casseroles for months to come. Can't say that I got this for health benefits, just taste, but I'm glad it has some.

Product is listed as "Organic", but is not and has no organic certification on the package.

I have ordered this product 3 times. This is the 3rd time I have questions: 1. Last time I received a product that was more yellow in color. The last time the taste is worse and has some inclusions that crunch on the teeth. 2. The product information states that chanterelle mushrooms are dried in the sun. If this is so, then chanterelles lose some of their beneficial properties. They should not be dried in DIRECT RAYS OF THE SUN. I do not claim professionalism, but only indicate my point of view and experience.

I agree with other reviewers that the packaging is confusing (there are occasional references to porcini within the descriptions, but the pictures and the main labeling says chanterelle). But I am happy with this find! The powder is definitely different than most mushroom powders that I've gotten before (e.g. even basic items like the mushroom seasoning salt from TJs). It's been a nice addition to cooking projects (ideally things that have some creaminess or fats to help meld the flavor). I think you get a generous amount of powder and the resealable low-profile packaging is handy. Planning to also potentially incorporate some of this powder into some immunity-focused tinctures in the future.

I really like the extra flavor boost from this powder, and in particular the home made seasoning recipe on the back with the mushroom powder, salt, pepper and garlic powder. This is an excellent addition to my spice rack and quite unique. I recommend this chanterelle powder!

I mix my cooking spices ahead of time. For instance, spaghetti spices include basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, cilantro, onion and garlic powders, and now Chanterelle powder. I like that by adding chanterelle powder I can add additional fiber and protein. You can add this to all kinds of soups, stews and other dishes that might include mushrooms.

It darkened my sauce, very bitter and full of sand. Threw in a garbage, impossible to eat. Bought in March, cook in June, tried second time from other bag in July- sadly the same. Disappointed.
