  • I swapped the sugar in my morning coffee for a scoop three months ago. It tastes like actual cane, not like flat sweetness.

    Marisa Holloway Portland, OR
  • What sold me is not having to keep simple syrup in the fridge. One scoop and the cold brew is done.

    Devon Pryce Austin, TX
  • My question was whether it would dissolve cold. It does, with no grit. I use it in the morning smoothie.

  • Ordered on a Tuesday, here on Thursday. The pouch arrived sealed and intact, no powder anywhere in the box.

  • The toasted edge of the panela works with coffee. My husband never took anything sweet and he switched to this.

What is Seta Panela?

Seta Panela is a powdered food blend made from Colombian panela and concentrated functional mushroom extracts.

It was made to fold into the drinks and recipes you already prepare, turning them into a mushroom preparation without asking you to change your habits.

What does it taste like?

Seta Panela keeps panela’s own flavour, with soft molasses and caramel notes. The mushroom extracts add a light umami base that the panela balances out; in coffee, matcha, tea and most preparations it goes practically unnoticed.

What is the recommended serving?

The recommended serving is 8 g — a level scoop — per day.

Some people prefer one serving a day; others use two or more depending on their preferences and goals. Functional mushrooms have a wide safety margin and there is no known risk of overdose at the amounts usually consumed. Past a certain point the body simply stops absorbing part of some of their compounds, which are eliminated naturally.

Can I take it every day?

Yes.

Seta Panela was made for everyday use as part of a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication, we recommend checking with a healthcare professional first.

Is that much panela every day a problem?

Each 8 g serving of Seta Panela contains about 7.5 g of sugars naturally present in the panela.

That is roughly 15 % of the FDA Daily Value for added sugars on a 2,000-calorie diet (50 g per day).

For most people that amount can be part of a balanced diet, especially when it replaces the sugar you would otherwise add to coffee, tea or other drinks. Like any food that contains sugar, it belongs in the context of each person’s daily diet.

Is it a medicine?

No.

Seta Panela is a food made from Colombian panela and concentrated functional mushroom extracts. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it should not replace treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional.

About us

The thread that never broke

Beneath the forest floor runs a web of white threads that connects trees which never touch: mycelium. Saccro exists for a similar reason —to hold together what someone worked out centuries ago and what you are going to drink tomorrow—, and that is why this section looks unlike the rest of the page: it is the underside of the brand.

  1. 01Asia

    An ingredient with centuries of craft behind it

    Mushrooms have been in the kitchens and the teapots of Asia for centuries. Not as a novelty — as a staple. That is where people learned to grow them, dry them and extract them, long before anyone thought to call them “functional”.

  2. 02The forest

    Six years tracing where they actually come from

    Walking forests and cities, visiting the farms, talking to the people who grow them, learning how the extracts are really made. The conclusion was an uncomfortable one: two products can say the same thing on the front of the bag and have almost nothing in common inside it.

  3. 03The trapiche

    The carrier was already there

    Nothing to invent. Panela is sugarcane juice boiled down in a mill called a trapiche and poured into blocks: nothing bleached out, nothing added back — which is exactly what brown sugar is not. Colombia drinks more of it than any country on earth. That was the bridge.

  4. 04The rule

    Four decisions that are not up for discussion

    Fruiting body, never mycelium grown on grain. A standardized, dosed extract. Trapiche panela as the only carrier. No maltodextrin, no starches, no fillers. They are printed on the pack.

    05Who is behind this

    After six years studying mushrooms, walking forests and cities, today I am formally presenting my philosophical statement.

    He wrote it on the blog, and it is still there. It is the most honest explanation of why this brand does things the way it does.
