I. Product Overview

Golden Oyster Mushroom Powder is a natural powder made from Pleurotus citrinopileatus (Golden Oyster Mushroom) through low-temperature drying and superfine grinding. Named for its vibrant golden-yellow cap, the powdered product features a bright color (ranging from luminous yellow to orange-yellow), fine texture, and delicate fruity aroma with umami notes, offering both culinary and health benefits.

Core Features:

1. High Bioactive Compounds: Rich in polysaccharides, carotenoids (e.g.,β-carotene), ergothioneine, ceramides, vitamin C, vitamin D, and selenium.

2. Natural Pigment: The vivid yellow color comes from natural carotenoids, serving as a safe alternative to artificial food colorants.

3. Exceptional Antioxidant Capacity: Higher ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value than common mushrooms, with significant free radical-scavenging effects.
