    1000 years of expertise: Mushroom cultivation started in China, Zhejiang, in the Sung dynasty, centuries ago. Chinese valued these fungi for medicinal and culinary purposes. 89% per cent of all the mushrooms consumed around the world originate from China. As mushrooms are infuriatingly perishable, it only makes sense to us to use the dried and powdered variety, stocking it as a pantry essential, so the therapeutic benefits can still be had. Dried mushrooms, slices and powder reduce the carbon footprint of importing fresh ones that also run the chance of spoiling even before arrival.
