maitake mushroom Powder

 Maitake Mushroom Powder (Grifola frondosa ) Maitake mushrooms, also known as “Hen of the Woods,” are prized for their rich, earthy flavor and impressive health benefits. Packed with beta-glucans, they help support immune function, balance blood sugar levels, and promote overall vitality—making them both a delicious and functional addition to any diet.

 Our Maitake Mushroom Powder is made with 100% of the fruiting body.  We do not use any mycelia or fillers that can lessen the nutritional and health benefits.
