About MycoTechnology, Inc.

MycoTechnology, Inc. develops all-natural processes to remove taste defects and improve the profiles of foods and beverages. This is unique in the industry, as other companies mask taste defects instead of removing them, thus adding unnecessary calories or compounds. Common techniques utilize chemicals processes or GMO solutions that tend to strip out flavors and nutrients, or add unwanted sugars, salt or fats to mask the defects. Instead, MycoTechnology trains gourmet strains of mushrooms to consume the bitter compounds, resulting in healthier, better-tasting foods and beverages that do not need masking agents.
