Maitake Organic 125 g

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) ORGANIC

Grifola frondosa or giant maitake is a very large edible mushroom, used primarily in Japanese cuisine. It has a pleasant texture and flavour. It is also used as a dietary supplement in traditional Chinese culture. We use maitake to promote general well-being and vitality.

The cultivation of our medicinal maitake mushrooms is strictly monitored, without the use of chemicals or pesticides, and 100% organic. 

What does it contain and who is it intended for?

Maitake is rich in minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium…), vitamins (B2, D2, niacin), fibre, proteins, amino acids, polysaccharides (e.g. the protein β-glucan) and other antioxidants (e.g. the prebiotic trehalose).

All these elements are present in the mushroom in large quantities and have a very beneficial effect.

In powder form, it contains a wealth of nutrients, and its beneficial effects have also been scientifically proven. Studies from various countries around the world have identified numerous beneficial effects associated with the regular consumption of Maitake mushrooms.

And what is extremely important here is that Maitake is a 100% natural product. As mushrooms are so effective precisely because they have the ability to absorb everything – both good and bad – from the environment, it is important to choose organically grown ones.

Why mushrooms in particular?

Mushrooms are fascinating. They are neither plants nor animals; what they are, however, are certainly incredible organisms that have managed to survive practically since the beginning of the world. They have developed a unique survival strategy that has sustained them to this day. We humans can also benefit from their unique properties by incorporating them into our diet. They help us achieve physical balance, contribute to our general well-being and protect us from numerous health issues.

As certain natural active compounds are indigestible or difficult for us to digest, it is very important that we consume only the very best powdered mushrooms. The mushrooms must be properly cultivated, dried and prepared. They must be ground into a fine powder without any lumps. The colour of the powder is lighter, though this also depends on the type of mushroom we are taking. As mushrooms are so effective precisely because they have the ability to absorb everything – both good and bad – from the environment, it is important to choose organically grown ones.
