About Dried morels

Dried morels are morel mushrooms preserved by drying, typically sold whole, halved or sliced. Their distinctive caps have a deeply ridged, honeycomb-like surface, and dried specimens are light and brittle; after soaking and cooking they become tender and develop a concentrated earthy, savoury flavour.

They are used in sauces, soups, stuffings and other cooked dishes, often after rehydration. Morels must be thoroughly cooked before eating; dried pieces may include different sizes and proportions of cap and stem. The species and quality of morels can vary between products.
