Fresh Cordyceps

In winter, Cordyceps flowers are used to make soup. In summer, they can be used together with black fungus, which is known as the "human waste cleanser", to make cold dishes. The bright light yellow color is very beautiful, strengthens the spleen and appetite, is very appetizing, and is very refreshing and helps lose weight! The nutritional elements of Cordyceps flower are very similar to Cordyceps sinensis. It is an excellent low-priced nourishing and health-preserving product that can be eaten by ordinary people.

1. The purest way to eat it: Take it fresh at room temperature and chew it immediately. Soft mushroom flavor with a strong aroma. Because it is not steamed, the nutrients are not lost after high temperature treatment.

2. Make soup: After other foods are stewed, add fresh herbs and cook over low heat for 3-5 minutes. It is best to use it with chickens, ducks, and young pigeons, which is very effective in the recovery of patients.

3. Cook porridge: After the porridge boils, add the fresh grass and simmer it immediately or cook it over low heat for 3-5 minutes.

4. Soak in boiling water for 3-5 minutes before consumption. You can also boil it in water and drink it. In fact, it is recommended to boil it in water and drink it.

How to buy summer grass

1. The shape is detailed, the insects are fat and the grass is short. Cordyceps is shaped like a silkworm. About 3~5 cm long and 0.3~0.8 cm thick.

2. Observe the ring pattern. The ring patterns on Cordyceps sinensis are not smooth and obvious, the ring patterns near the head are relatively thin, and there are currently 20 to 30 ring patterns.

3. Bright yellow on the outside and white on the inside. The surface of Cordyceps is dark brown or yellow-brown.

4. Identify by looking at the insect’s legs. Cordyceps has 8 pairs of legs on its body, 3 pairs near the head, 4 pairs in the middle, and 1 pair at the tail. The 4 pairs in the middle are the most prominent.

5. Identify from the fruiting body on the head. The fruiting body of the Cordyceps head is dark brown, cylindrical, 4 to 8 cm long, 0.3 cm thick, and has fine vertical wrinkles on the surface.

Fresh Cordyceps cannot be stored with soil. The fresh Cordyceps just harvested is wrapped in soil. Some friends think that it is fresh with soil. The soil contains sufficient nutrients and water. If it is not cleaned in time, the Cordyceps can continue to grow under the soil capsule, the fruiting body will elongate, and nutrients will be consumed. Moreover, the soil cannot be removed after it hardens, which will destroy the surface details of the Cordyceps sinensis.

Fresh grass should not come into contact with water when stored. To clean the dirt from fresh Cordyceps, you only need to brush it slowly with a small soft-bristled brush. Do not wash it with water. Fresh Cordyceps will quickly become moldy once it comes into contact with water at room temperature (above zero degrees). This is related to the activity level of microbial strains at high temperatures. After Cordyceps sinensis comes into contact with water, it can only be stored for 2-3 days at ultra-low temperatures.

The storage of fresh Cordyceps needs to be vacuum-sealed or N2-packaged and placed below zero degrees, which is likely to inhibit the specificity of microbial pathogens. Proper addition of some Cortex Moutan and additives can make the fresh Cordyceps be stored for a longer time. Generally, it can be expanded for half a year to a year, and N2 can be stored for a longer time.
