Maitake

Often called "Hen of the Woods," Maitake grows in large, ruffled, grey-brown clusters. Its D-fraction supports the innate immune system and encourages normal blood glucose levels via orally active polysaccharides that resist stomach acid. It provides a sophisticated sensory experience, offering a delicate, peppery flavor, a woodsy aroma, and a crisp, leafy texture that holds up well during preparation and ingestion.
