Maitake

The "dancing mushroom" of Japanese cuisine. Beta-glucans and a rich tradition of use.

The Japanese named it the dancing mushroom, supposedly because people danced with joy upon finding it. Among our species, maitake has the beta-glucan fraction best described in Japan · it was simply named fraction D, and a team in Kobe has studied it since the eighties. Maitake is also one of the most delicious mushrooms; in China it fruits only once a year and is locally considered a delicacy. At Aloha Fungi we turned that delicacy into a powdered extract. Maitake is also part of our FLOW blend.
