Broderick AdamsDiscover the Bold Flavor of Emory Market Gardens Mushroom Jerky: A Satisfying Snack, Naturally
In a world filled with processed snacks and artificial ingredients, it's refreshing to find something that’s both nourishing and packed with flavor. That’s exactly what we’ve created with our Mushroom Jerky – a bold, savory, plant-based snack made right here at Emory Market Gardens. Whether you’re a longtime mushroom lover or just looking for a delicious meat-free alternative, our jerky is a game-changer in the world of wholesome snacking.
The Umami Magic of Oyster Mushrooms
At the heart of our mushroom jerky is the oyster mushroom, one of nature’s most versatile and flavorful fungi. Grown with care in our indoor cultivation facility, these mushrooms are known for their naturally “meaty” texture and ability to absorb bold flavors – making them the ideal base for jerky.
Here's why oyster mushrooms make our jerky truly special:
A Texture Meat-Lovers Appreciate
Oyster mushrooms mimic the satisfying chew of traditional jerky without the heaviness or cholesterol of meat. The fibrous texture gives each bite substance and staying power.
A Natural Umami Bomb
Umami, the savory “fifth taste,” is naturally abundant in mushrooms. Combined with our signature marinade, it delivers that crave-worthy depth of flavor jerky fans love.
Crafted with Care and a Flavorful Marinade
Our mushroom jerky is more than just dried mushrooms – it’s the result of a careful process from cultivation to dehydration. Each batch starts with premium mushrooms, grown in small batches under carefully controlled conditions. Once harvested, we marinate them in our house-made blend of spices, a savory-sweet mix that includes:
Soy Sauce – for deep umami richness
Apple Cider Vinegar – adds brightness and tang
Maple Syrup – a touch of natural sweetness
Garlic & Onion – the base of any great savory snack
Mustard Powder & Thyme – for an herby, peppery finish
Black Pepper – to bring the heat, just right
Slow dehydration seals in all that flavor, transforming each mushroom into a chewy, portable snack that’s ready for anything.
