The Morel mushroom or Morchella is among the most sought and expensive mushroom after the truffle. They have a rich, meaty, and earthy flavour which is beyond compare. Try Morels in a white sauce, along with chicken or egg dishes or sauteed alone.
Small morels can go right into sauces whole or halved, while large ones can be stuffed and baked or butterflied and pan fried in butter. Dried morels have a deeper, richer flavour than fresh ones and can be described as being like a really good steak. Finding a morel in the wild is always an exciting experience and is often a gateway to other forms of foraging. Their honeycomb-like cap pokes out of the ground in early spring and is a sure sign summer is on the way. These morels come from Northern BC, where forest fires coat the ground with the nutrients needed for abundant mushroom growth. Rich in Riboflavin Niacin Vitamin D and Iron, dried morels are a great addition to your pantry.
Please note that all raw morels need to be well cooked this is not a table seasoning, do not sprinkling on a cooked pizza or add to an already cooked soup. Ensure your morels are fully cooked before consuming.
Forbes Wild Foods is a Canadian company that proudly supplies wild, hand-picked foods to restaurants; farmers markets; hotels; gift, food, and health stores; and to individual customers via our online store. All of our foods are sustainably harvested from the Canadian wilderness by trained, knowledgeable pickers. Our suppliers practice progressive harvesting methods -- ones that are both sustainable for its neighbouring plant species and surrounding ecosystem; and for the pickers themselves, whose livelihood is supported by a thriving source of wild foods.
Our specialized pickers (consisting of Indigenous people, women, youth, retirees, farmers, and professional foragers) are usually residents of rural or remote communities who respect the lands that support them. Only those wild foods that grow in great abundance and whose survival is not in danger are considered for harvest. Forbes Wild Foods also works with regional and northern wild food producers to help propagate rare wild food plants by reintroducing them to lands that need remedial attention, such as overgrazed woodlots and pastures.
