{"product_id":"lions-mane-powder","title":"Lion's Mane Powder | Brain Focus 100% Pure","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 100 g pouch of lion's mane powder made from the fruiting body only, with nothing added and nothing taken away. The brand lists it as organic certified and UK lab tested, and describes a gentle drying process. This is lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) in its plainest form: the mushroom, dried and milled, with no capsule, no extract ratio and no sweetener between you and it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowder is the most flexible format we stock. You decide how much to use and what to put it in, and because lion's mane has a mild, savoury taste it sits comfortably in food as well as drinks. It comes as a single pouch or in 2 and 3 pack deals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruiting body powder is the mushroom itself, the white spined growth you would recognise on a log, dried and ground. That is different from mycelium powder, which is the root-like network grown on grain and ground up with the grain still in it. It is also different from an extract, which has been processed to concentrate certain components. This is neither: one ingredient, dried mushroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruiting body lion's mane powder is pale cream to light tan and smells faintly of mushroom. In the mouth it is mild and savoury, often described as slightly like seafood, which is why it works in eggs, soups and sauces rather than fighting them. It disperses in hot drinks, though it will not fully dissolve the way an instant coffee does; expect a little sediment at the bottom of the mug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heaped teaspoon is around 3 g and a level one around 2 g. The brand does not state a serving size, so those figures are ours, taken from the kitchen rather than the label. At a level teaspoon a 100 g pouch is about 50 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Herba Store UK own-label product. The brand's description of the drying as gentle is repeated as stated; no temperatures are given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThink of it as a mild stock powder. Stir a teaspoon into scrambled eggs before they set, whisk it into soups, sauces and stews, sprinkle it over roasted vegetables, or add it to muffin, pancake or bread batter. In drinks it goes into hot water, milk or a smoothie; stir well and stir again before the last mouthful. Powder is not heat sensitive in normal cooking, which is why the brand suggests baking with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle pack: 100 g, £19.99 (about 20p a gram)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 pack: 2 x 100 g, £28.98 (£14.49 a pouch, the cheapest per pouch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 pack: 3 x 100 g, £49.99 (£16.66 a pouch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA level teaspoon is roughly 2 g, about 50 servings per pouch at around 40p each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eReseal the pouch after each use and keep it in a dry cupboard. Mushroom powder picks up moisture and clumps if left open; a clip or a jar solves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLion's mane mushroom powder, 100% fruiting body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne ingredient; nothing added\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic certified and UK lab tested, as stated by the brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot an extract: this is dried, ground mushroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a tooth fungus that grows on hardwood, carrying long white spines instead of gills. It is cultivated on sawdust blocks for food and supplements. The fruiting body is the part you would eat if it were fresh, and it is the only part in this pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooks, and anyone who wants to set their own amount. The powder suits a morning routine built around breakfast (eggs are the classic use), a smoothie habit, or a kitchen where mushrooms already go into soups and sauces. It also suits people who want lion's mane without sugar, capsules or coffee, and who do not mind a little sediment in a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want a measured amount with no thought, the capsules are 500 mg each and the gummies 250 mg. If you want lion's mane already in a drink, the coffees, cacao and hot chocolate on our shelf each carry a stated amount per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lions-mane-capsules\"\u003elion's mane capsules\u003c\/a\u003e are the measured format at 500 mg each.
