Dr'd Oyster Mushr'm(50g)
These mushrooms are produced by two women's cooperatives in city of the Quibdo, Colombia. The cooperatives are producing oyster mushrooms on waste sawdust from the big sawmills of the area. The sawdust is normally thrown into the Atrato River. Through cultivating oyster mushrooms, the women are producing a valuable and nutritious food which can be sold and can be eaten at home. They are also reducing and converting waste to a useable product. Aged between 30 and 60, the women of the co-operatives are able to combine their household duties with part time work cultivating oyster mushrooms, as the growing sites are situated near to their homes. Dried Oyster Mushrooms are 100% free from preservatives and are a lovely addition to risottos, stews and stir fries. Just soak for 5 minutes in warm water or milk before use.
