Grifola Frondosa

Strong aromatic, earthy taste with a high umami content, loved by young top chefs

Description

This beautiful looking brown-gray mushroom has a strong aromatic, earthy taste and a high umami content. The flesh is white and crispy. For these reasons, the youngest generation of top chefs like to use the maitake in vegetarian or vegan dishes. The maitake or egg tenderloin was originally cultivated in Japan. Now, just like in Japan, we grow it on sawdust packages.
