The mushroom snack mentioned by Jeon Ji Hyun on the popular YouTube content 'Pinggyego' episode 108 of 'TteunTteun' has recently become a hot topic. This snack, which cast members like Yoo Jae-suk, Goo Kyo-hwan, and Ji Chang-wook enjoyed and praised, has been dubbed the 'Jeon Ji Hyun Mushroom Snack,' significantly boosting public interest in healthy whole-food snacks.
The product in question is the DJ&A Shiitake Mushroom Crisps from Australia, characterized by its crispy texture and deep umami flavor, achieved by low-temperature vacuum cooking whole shiitake mushrooms. Unlike typical flour or potato chips, it offers a savory and subtly salty taste without the greasy aftertaste, as it is not deep-fried. Other freeze-dried shiitake mushroom chip products, such as 'Cheolgeoyejeong Honjamokneun Kkwasakchip,' are also popular at stores like Costco. Tips for enjoying them include adding special seasoning for a different flavor or microwaving for 5 seconds to restore crispness if they become soft.
Bloggers describe this mushroom snack as suitable for those who prefer whole-food snacks due to its savory and subtly salty taste, rather than an overly strong salty flavor. It pairs well with cold carbonated drinks or beer and can be enjoyed in various ways, such as dipping in mayonnaise for an izakaya-style appetizer or using as a crouton substitute in soup. Among consumers seeking healthy yet delicious snacks, the 'Jeon Ji Hyun Mushroom Snack' has established itself as a popular item with high repurchase rates.
