Maitake (grifola frondosa) is an Asian mushroom that is gaining popularity around the world due to its remarkable properties. It stands out not only for its unique taste, but also for its wealth of valuable ingredients such as niacin, thiamin, biotin, folic acid, polysaccharides and vitamins, as well as minerals and trace elements such as iron, zinc, potassium and magnesium.
Maitake is sometimes called the "dancing mushroom." The name comes from a legend in which a group of monks came across this valuable mushroom during their trek. The monks were so overjoyed by the discovery that they began to dance for joy, which contributed to giving maitake such a nickname.
