Try our Fresh Frozen Morels today!
Our wild fresh frozen morel mushrooms are hand foraged here in the Great Northwest daily during their short spring season. The wild morel season typically starts in April and lasts until mid May or June. Our fresh frozen morel mushrooms are an excellent substitute when fresh morel mushrooms are not available. Our intrepid pickers climb mountains around the Pacific Northwest for these delicious treats and we flash freeze them daily to lock in their wonderful flavor and antioxidant properties. This freezing process makes the morels much closer to the fresh morel state. Wild morels have a wonderful earthy flavor making them on of the most sought after mushrooms of all. Wild morel mushrooms are a prized favorite of top chefs throughout America and the world. Morel mushrooms grow all over the world but those from the Pacific Northwest are some of the most prized for both flavor and quality. We have blonde morels, grey morels, natural morels and conica morels all available depending on the time of the season. Our fresh frozen morel mushrooms are easy to use and delicious. Simply soak in hot salt water until they soften, (around 2-3 minutes) then rinse and pat dry. Then you can prepare them like you would fresh morel mushrooms. Once thawed, morels are softer than fresh ones, but still very delicious and closer in texture to the fresh ones compared to the dry. We love them sauteed with fresh asparagus, garlic, white wine and soy sauce. All our morels are top grade and we guarantee them to arrive in good condition.
