Real Mushrooms, Simple Ingredients

Pan's Mushroom Jerky

Chewy, savory and full of umami, Pan's Mushroom Jerky is made from organic shiitake mushrooms using a family recipe that goes back decades.

All the Chew, None of the Meat

Shiitake jerky, seasoned every way that matters.

Pan's starts with whole organic shiitake mushrooms and cooks them with a short list of simple ingredients. Each piece comes out tender, chewy and deeply savory. There's no soy sauce, no seed oils and nothing artificial, so it's vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, cholesterol-free and Kosher.

A Family Recipe Worth Sharing

In 2006, Michael Pan traveled to Malaysia to visit family he hadn't seen in years. Many of his relatives there are vegetarian and their meals were full of mushroom dishes that were savory, satisfying and good for you. One snack stood out. It was rich and chewy shiitake mushrooms, made from a recipe his family had passed down for decades. 

Michael brought the recipe home to the Pacific Northwest and spent months in his own kitchen testing and refining it. He launched Pan's Mushroom Jerky in 2018 with four flavors based on that family recipe.

The brand grew from there, including a deal with Mark Cuban on ABC's Shark Tank. Pan's  has grown over the years, but is still made in Portland, Oregon and still starts with the same thing: shiitake mushrooms and a recipe the Pan family has been making for generations.

The Jerky the Whole Table Can Share

Jerky is one of the easiest protein-style snacks to grab, but most of it is off-limits for a lot of our customers. Most meatless jerky is made from soy or wheat gluten and marinated in soy sauce, which rules it out for anyone avoiding soy or gluten.

Pan's goes a different way. Shiitake mushrooms naturally have the dense, chewy texture and savory depth you want from jerky, so there's no need for a soy or gluten base. That makes Pan's one of the few jerky-style snacks that works for vegan, gluten-free, soy-free and paleo eaters alike.
