Sanghwang Mushroom (Sang Hwangbeoseos) is an integral ingredient of this lighter doenjang recipe, due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous effects – making it a superfood in Korea!

Phellinus Linteus (commonly referred to as Mesima, Meshimakobu, Song Gen and Sang hwang) is a species of hoof-shaped mushroom found on mulberry trees that has long been used as a medicinal remedy in Asia to prevent diarrhoea, gastroenteric dysfunction, haemorrhage and cancers.

Beta D-Glutan and Lectin, two polysaccharide-protein complexes found in this supplement, help the immune system. Reports indicate it kills Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that cause furuncles, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and endocarditis infection of heart valves; while research is underway into treating haemophilia; an inherited disorder that inhibits blood clotting.
