Mushroom Powders

We have a growing range of Mushroom Powders and Extracts in this category. If the product is a normal powder, rather than an extract, this means that the mushroom has been dried, and ground into a powder, and is a whole food item. Extracts are made through a different process, and have a higher concentration of the active and desired constituents such as the Polysaccharides.

Extracts made from mushrooms are usually made from a hot water extraction method. The mushrooms are steeped and mixed in large quantities into hot water, and this resulting liquid is then separated from any solid mass left behind that is not water soluble. The liquid is spray dried, resulting in a fine powder that has a higher concentration of constituents. The greater the bulk of mushrooms added to the water, the higher the resulting concentrated extract is.

Mushroom powders have gained in popularity in recent years as a great way to flavour and season foods, increase nutritional content of smoothies, can even be added to your morning coffee or used as an alternative to coffee.
