🔧 MycoZen preparation tips

• 💧 Optimal hydration :
  The grain should be well hydrated inside , but dry to the touch on the outside .

• 🌬️ Draining / “steam dry” :
  Allow the grain to steam dry after cooking to remove excess water.

• 🛡️ Less water = less contamination and better colonization.

⚠️ Important to know

• Product sold as a raw material .

• The results depend on:

  • cleanliness ,

  • sterilization ,

  • growing conditions ,

  • the quality of the inoculation.

MycoZen provides a quality foundation — the final success depends on the method used.
