George Ohsawa, a Japanese philosopher born in 1893, was at the origin of the macrobiotic movement. He sought to introduce the philosophy of ying and yang into the world of food, on the premise that good food could solve all ills. Based on the principle that forcing oneself to eat only healthy foods without taking pleasure in them would not allow one to adopt this diet forever, the Ohsawa group founded in 1945 extended his work by seeking to distribute only macrobiotic products that were both good for the body and the palate.
Rehydrate in cold water for 30 minutes before adding to your preparation.
I tried these mushrooms in a salad and in miso soup. At first, I was surprised at how much they expanded in volume, but in terms of taste and texture, they were perfect for adding substance! Of course, I bought some more afterwards.
