Organic Mushroom Products

I was amazed when I visited the JENTRIX Enterprise (beside the benguet Provincial Capitol) they have developed many products out of mushroom. Aside from their mushroom wine and mushroom burger patties, they have have lumpia and embotido with mushroom. They also have mushroom coffee that help fight diabetes.

If you want to know more about these delicious and nutritious products, visit JENTRIX Enterprise at the Capitol Hill (along the driveway).
