Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom powder 250 g

The "lion's mane" mushroom of Asian cuisine - Ecocert certified organic

The organic Lion's Mane mushroom powder (Hericium erinaceus) is used as an everyday culinary ingredient: 1 to 3 g per day in a stock, a smoothie, a soup or a latte is enough to enjoy its mild umami flavour. Ecocert certified, our 250 g organic Lion's Mane powder is made 100% from the whole mushroom, with no excipients or additives.

🍄 What is the Lion's Mane mushroom?

Lion's Mane - in French crinière de lion or hydne hérisson, sometimes called pompom blanc, or yamabushitake in Japan - is a mushroom like no other. Frankly, the first time you see one, you wonder whether it really is a mushroom. That cascade of white filaments, like a beard of ice clinging to a tree trunk, is quite spectacular.

Its history goes back more than a thousand years in Asia. Zen Buddhist monks traditionally ate it - and in Asian cuisine, fresh Lion's Mane has been cooked sautéed, grilled or in soups for centuries. It is a mushroom that is part of Asian culinary culture in the same way as shiitake or maitake.

Our powder is produced from the whole mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), grown in Ecocert-certified organic farming, then dried and ground into a fine powder.

The result? A versatile ingredient, neutral-tasting in powder form, that fits easily into your everyday eating.

🍄 Taste profile and culinary uses of Lion's Mane

In Asian gastronomy, fresh Lion's Mane is often compared to certain seafood - lobster or crab - for its melting texture and its mild, slightly nutty umami flavour. In powder form, the taste is much more discreet, almost neutral. That is precisely what makes it so easy to use.

Here is how to use Lion's Mane powder every day :

- Stocks and soups : 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) in a hot stock - it dissolves in a few seconds. Personally, that is how I use it most often in the morning.
- Smoothies and lattes : golden latte, matcha latte, raw cacao latte - a teaspoon and it's done, with an imperceptible taste.
- Plant-based pâtés and spreads : mixed into a base of cashew nuts or soaked sunflower seeds, it adds a subtle umami note.
- Seasoning sauces : in a miso sauce, a vinaigrette or a curry, it blends in perfectly.
- Sprinkled over bowls : rice, quinoa, roasted vegetables - a pinch before serving.

Incidentally, if you are looking to combine several ingredients in the kitchen, our organic spirulina powder and our organic Cordyceps powder go very well with Lion's Mane in a morning smoothie or stock.

🍄 How to use Lion's Mane powder?

Suggested use : 1 to 3 g per day (½ to 1 level teaspoon) in your culinary preparations or drinks. In the morning in a hot drink is the simplest. In the early afternoon in a smoothie works very well too.

Start with a small amount - half a teaspoon - and increase gradually to your taste. (The powder is concentrated, no need to add tonnes of it.)

Precautions for use :
Not recommended in case of mushroom allergy. If you are undergoing medical treatment, ask your healthcare professional for advice.
