Fried Chicken Mushrooms, a variety in the mushroom family, radiate a warm, golden-brown hue and boast a velvety, slightly crunchy texture that mimics fried chicken when cooked. Their meaty and savory profile, paired with a mild, nutty flavor makes them a prized component in vegetarian and vegan dishes seeking a chicken substitute. These mushrooms excel in a diverse array of culinary uses from sautées, stir-fries, and soups to being battered and fried. When incorporated into meals, Fried Chicken Mushrooms not only enhance the dish with their hearty texture but also contribute beneficial nutrients like protein, fiber, and B vitamins – a delightful and health-conscious addition to any plate.
It began over 35 years ago, with a man discovering a patch of wild morel mushrooms growing near his family farm in the Columbia River Gorge. A farmer and mill-worker, John Anderson, along with his wife Wanda, had a love of good food, great respect for nature and an ethic of sustainability.
With no fear of getting their hands dirty. John and Wanda began carefully foraging and selling morels to the best local restaurants. Word spread and Foods In Season was born. Today, the Andersons distribute an impressive line of products to top chefs, retailers and distributors all across America.
