Sun dried Wild forest harvested Maitake Hen of the Woods mushroom whole and powdered on request
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is an delicious edible medicinal mushroom native to northeastern region we are blessed with abundance of in our Catskill forest region!
Traditionally used in Japan, maitake mushroom has been utilized in traditional medicine for centuries and have gained popularity in the Western world.
Maitake mushrooms are rich in macronutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and phytochemicals (special plant components). They've been studied for their potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects
Recent research has found potential uses of maitake mushrooms in cancer, inflammation, and immunity. These and other health benefits are thought to be due to bioactive ingredients like polysaccharides and polyphenols present in maitake mushrooms
Maitake mushrooms may also benefit other health conditions, including diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, and neurodegenerative (brain and nerve) diseases. However, research is in the early stages for many of these uses.
Maitake mushrooms are rich in important nutrients and phytochemicals that are thought to offer a wide array of health benefits.

You'll also find heart-healthy fats, including mono- and polyunsaturated fats and amino acids like tryptophan, leucine, lysine, valine, and others in maitake mushrooms
Maitake mushrooms are also a source of various phytochemicals, which are plant-based bioactive compounds with potential health benefits.
Beta-glucans (types of polysaccharides) are widely present in maitake mushrooms. In laboratory research, beta-glucans have shown antitumor properties.
Flavonoids and other types of polyphenols are also present in maitake mushrooms. These act as antioxidants, which may be necessary for disease prevention.
Another class of phytonutrients found in maitake mushrooms are glycoproteins. The glycoproteins in maitake mushrooms comprise both carbohydrates and proteins. In lab research, they have been found to have blood-pressure-lowering, blood-sugar-lowering, and antitumor effects!
