A 10:1 concentrated ginger root extract — ten grams of ginger root behind every gram of powder. This is the strongest ginger we make, and a very different thing from the ground ginger in the spice aisle.
Ginger's character comes from gingerols in the fresh root and shogaols, which develop through drying and processing. Concentrating the root at 10:1 brings both forward, so the heat is immediate and the flavour is clean rather than dusty. One ingredient, nothing else added.
Who it's for: people who found regular ginger powder too mild, formulators and bulk buyers, and anyone who wants warming ginger in a drink without grating anything.
How to use: Stir 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon into warm water, tea, a smoothie or golden milk. Start at the low end — at 10:1 a small amount goes a long way.

There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.
The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.
However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.
We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.
