Superfoods & Greens

This category brings together powdered superfoods across three main groups: matcha green tea, root powders, and functional mushrooms, with freeze-dried kale rounding out the range. The products are sold in loose powder form and are intended to be added to drinks, smoothies, or recipes rather than taken as capsules. Most items carry an organic certification from their country of origin, whether Japan for the matcha or Peru for the maca root.

Within the matcha selection, the main distinction is between ceremonial grade and culinary grade. Ceremonial grade is stone-ground for a smoother, less bitter taste and is typically used in traditional preparation with hot water, while culinary grade is better suited to cooking, baking, or blending where other flavors are present. Some listings also specify first harvest, which refers to the first picking of the season and generally indicates a more tender leaf. For maca, two sizes are available, 1.2 lbs and 2.4 lbs, both in gelatinized form, which means the starch has been removed to make the powder easier to digest than raw maca. The mushroom powders split between Lion's Mane, made from the fruiting body and freeze-dried, and Cordyceps, a fine-ground powder positioned for blending into drinks.

When choosing, consider how the powder fits into your routine. Culinary matcha suits everyday use in larger volumes, while ceremonial grade rewards slower preparation. Larger maca sizes offer better value if the powder will be used regularly. Fruiting body sourcing on the Lion's Mane is worth noting, as it is a common quality marker shoppers look for when comparing mushroom supplements.
