Organic Grifola frondosa Whole Fruiting Body Powder
Organic maitake whole fruiting body powder, milled without carrier. The powder keeps the natural beta-glucan matrix rather than a standardised fraction, which is why buyers using it in food applications usually prefer it to the 4:1 extract.

Buyer Decision Guide
Whole powder and extract are often quoted against each other on price alone, which is misleading. Three points make the comparison honest.
- Material: whole fruiting body, not mycelium or a spent-substrate blend.
- Declaration: no carrier or anti-caking agent added.
- Mesh: 80 mesh as standard; finer cuts on request.
- Moisture, heavy metals and microbiology reported per batch.
- Organic certificate and lot transaction certificate supplied with the shipment.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
How This Grade Differs
The organic 4:1 maitake extract is listed separately. This page is the unconcentrated powder, so the two differ by roughly the extraction ratio in cost per kilogram and cannot be swapped without recalculating the inclusion rate.
Quality and Documentation
Identity, mesh, moisture, heavy metals and microbiology are checked per lot, with colour compared against a retained sample and the organic certificate filed.
Regulatory Note
Organic grade: the material is sourced from certified organic growers and processors. The organic certificate and the lot transaction certificate are provided with each shipment on request. The certifying body and the standard applied differ by origin lot, so confirm the standard your market requires (for example NUS/NOP-type, EU 2018/848 or China Organic) before ordering. Certification is held by the producing operation and travels with the lot.
