Fermentation made bread, cheese and coffee better. Now it's protein's turn.
- Start with plant proteinPea and rice protein. Nothing exotic yet.
- Let Shiitake mycelium ferment itMushroom roots (mycelium) go to work on the protein, like a starter does for sourdough.
- Add four more mushroomsLion's Mane, Reishi, Turkey Tail and Chaga join in. Five mushrooms, one scoop.
