Pan's Mushroom Jerky (4)

Mushrooms are renowned for their powerful flavors and health benefits, and while it's great to have them fresh, they also make a great on-the-go treat when dried.

Even if you’ve never tried or even seen grab-and-go mushroom snacks, Pan's Mushroom Jerky gives you the perfect opportunity to find out just how great they can be.

The History of Pan's Mushroom Jerky

Several years ago, founder Michael Pan traveled to Borneo from his home in the Pacific Northwest to see the local sights and visit with family.

During that fateful trip, he learned that many of his relatives were vegetarian, which precluded them from eating many of the snacks he had come to know and love in the U.S., including meat-based jerky. Instead, they enjoyed mushroom jerky, which gave Pan an idea.

Starting in 2017, he created Pan's Mushroom Jerky, using a decades-old recipe and combining it with a number of exciting flavors that have quickly caught on across the U.S.
