"At SuperFeast, we think about health differently. We aren't interested in fads, and we turn to nature for guidance and healing. We believe that health starts in the home and that vitality is everyone's birthright. That plants and fungi are allies on our journey towards our utmost potential. We really love tonic herbs and medicinal mushrooms. We take them every day. We fell in love with them, they transformed us, and we decided to share them with the world. We partner with diligent and ethical people in communities that care about the quality and integrity of the herbs. We extract with care. We use premium packaging to ensure the herbs have longevity. And we love what we do. We also respect and honour the lineage of Daoist herbalism that has provided us with a path to walk and a map of the body/mind/soul, both energetically and physically, which has allowed us to expand our consciousness. We continue to study and learn from this tradition and are incredibly grateful for the many Masters, gurus, teachers, students, scholars, alchemists, somanauts and adventurers who have contributed to our understanding of this wisdom."

Medicinal mushrooms (still technically herbs!) are unmatched in their ability to build immunity and adaptability within the body and are among some of the world's most prized tonic herbs (see above). Some famous medicinal mushrooms are also great culinary mushrooms - think shiitake - but many are difficult to consume in their raw form. For this reason, they were (and continue to be) extracted, to maximise their medicinal value. Different extraction methods yield different compounds - see our FAQs on extracting herbs for more details. Generally, a mushroom extract will provide a more concentrated and cost-effective way of consuming the mushrooms (compared to purchasing the ground mushroom and extracting it yourself). At SuperFeast, it takes 10 kilograms of dried mushroom to produce 1 kilogram of medicinal mushroom extract powder.
