What This Line Is
Canned shiitake mushrooms packed in tins and glass jars for importers, private-label brand owners, and foodservice distributors. Available whole, cut, or as strips, in water, brine, or marinated, with pack sizes from 184G tins to 1700ML jars. Produced in Xiayi County, a well-established edible fungus growing base in Henan Province, ensuring a short harvest-to-canning window for consistent quality.
Raw material season: October to March. Booking volume before the season opens lets us plan intake against your specification.

Compared With the Alternatives
Honest trade-offs rather than a list of reasons to buy.
| Canned champignon mushrooms | Shiitake has a deeper brown cap and earthy flavour suited to Asian and European braised dishes, while champignon is milder and better for cream sauces and pizza |
|---|---|
| Dried shiitake mushrooms | No rehydration step required and consistent drained weight per tin, but higher freight cost per kilo of solids |
| Frozen shiitake mushrooms | Ships and stores at ambient temperature with no cold chain, but texture is softer than IQF |
| Canned mixed mushrooms | Single species gives uniform size and colour for consistent cooking and plating, while mixed packs offer visual variety for antipasti |
Canned Shiitake Mushrooms Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for canned shiitake mushrooms?
Prices are quoted on a 1 x 20 foot FCL basis. If your volume is not yet a full container, we can arrange LCL consolidation to reduce inventory and shipping costs.
Can you produce under our own brand label?
Yes. We have extensive OEM experience covering product recipe, packaging, and outer carton printing, produced strictly to your specifications and shipped on your delivery schedule.
Which pack sizes are best for retail versus catering?
Retail programmes typically use 284G to 400G tins or 314ML to 720ML jars. Catering and food manufacturing usually require 2840G tins or 1700ML jars for bulk use.
When is the shiitake mushroom season, and how does it affect my order?
The mushroom season runs from October to March. Booking in advance allows us to secure raw material and hold your pack specification through the production run.
Can we appoint our own inspection company before shipment?
Yes. We accept third-party inspection by any agency you designate after production and before shipment.
How do you ensure no foreign matter gets into the finished cans?
All ingredients on the line pass metal detectors, and every tin and jar is scanned by double X-ray before packing.
