Despite their sterling reputation as a potent functional mushroom, reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushrooms have far less prestige in the culinary world. They are rarely used as the star ingredient in dishes because reishi’s flavor is commonly due to its earthy, bitter taste while having a chewy and rubbery texture.
Overall, reishi mushrooms are not exactly pleasing to the palate, so it’s no surprise that they aren’t stocked at your local grocery store. Not to worry, reishi mushroom powder to the rescue!
While some Chinese cuisine has managed to utilize Ganoderma lucidum to some degree, it’s far more convenient (and tasty!) to use our reishi powder extract to boost delicious recipes.
