Mushrooms are the Future •

Lion’s Den makes the best umami Sauces made from fucntional mushrooms. We realised that one of the key flavours of the future was Umami - the taste of savouriness or richness - so we are on the hunt to create tasty sauces that pack an umami punch to your dishes. After a kismet meeting with a Mushroom Man in Snowdon we realised that mushrooms are the future.

SUPER UMAMI

Exotic mushrooms, especially Shiitake, have loads of umami qualities. Umami is the 5th taste sense, known as savouriness, that gives certain foods a deep rich flavour that makes us crave for more.

Easy to Grow

Mushrooms are natural decomposers, the ultimate zero waste or circular system. We grow them in a low energy controlled environment in an urban setting meaning they are a planet positive food for the future.

NUTRITIONAL POWERS

Mushrooms are a brilliant source of Protein, Vitamin D, Fibre and other minerals and vital vitamins. We’re also looking into the exciting potential between umami and protein absorption.

Having won awards for sustainability and organic food at their pub, and two published cookbooks on Sustainability, Ollie and Lauren were on the hunt fot the food of the future.

They found themselves in the Welsh mountains, and met a Mushroom Man in Snowdon. It was then that they realised the mushrooms are the past, present and future.

Now on a mission to create super umami sauces from the best functional mushrooms.
