direct sourcing from farmers
We source our mushrooms & herbs from farmers, cultivators & suppliers across India, after deep research on the production quality, lab reports, farming/cultivation methods and other important checks. Uttarakhand, North East India, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Himachal are the few places where you will find locals cultivating medicinal mushrooms & herbs, on which their livelihood depends. We at Rooted work with these local harvesters & suppliers to attain the best quality mushrooms & herbs.
extracting key bio compounds
Most Medicinal mushrooms & herbs cannot be directly consumed (i.e raw or powdered) due to their key compounds not being available through raw consumption. The beta-glucans (polysaccharides) from mushrooms which boost our immune system* are locked up in the chitin (pronounced: KY-tin) of the mushroom cell wall structure. Our human digestive system does not adequately break down chitin, so eating any of the culinary, medicinal mushrooms or a non-extracted mushroom powder provides very little, if any, support from the valuable beta-glucans. We undertake an extraction process at our facilities in Nahan ( HP, India) wherein the mushrooms or herbs are powdered and then bio compounds extracted using water based extraction. The extracts are then converted back to a powdered form ( after due tests & reports), which are then blended or ready for final packaging.
