Cordyceps sinensis is a very valuable Chinese herbal medicine. It can be used as medicine and can also be used in recipes to make medicinal meals. There are three main ways to use Cordyceps sinensis.

First, grind it into powder

Cordyceps sinensis can be ground into powder for home use. The powder can be packed in capsules. It depends on personal preference whether to take capsules directly or powder. Hollow capsules are usually sold in pharmacies.

However, I don’t really recommend this method, because although grinding it into powder seems to be easy to distribute the medicinal properties, it is really not more convenient than the other two ways of eating.

Second, pills and powders

Pills and powders can be purchased directly from pharmacies or from regular hospitals. They are completely prescription-based. This kind of pertinence is also relatively strong.

Third, medicinal diet

Cordyceps sinensis is very similar to longan meat, and is mainly added when stewing soup. Cordyceps sinensis can be added to general poultry, pork, and fish. However, when stewing soup with cordyceps sinensis, it must be a clear soup. For best results, it is best to eat both the soup and the meat together, and the cordyceps must also be eaten. You can also cook it directly into cordyceps soup without adding meat.

It should be noted that when stewing soup, the dosage is about 15-30 grams each time, and the stewing time is within 2 hours. When cooking soup with Cordyceps alone, only 5-10 grams are needed. Cordyceps soup is a fungus soup. It is generally best when drunk before a meal. If it is stewed with meat, it can be eaten directly as a staple food. If it is not enough after eating, you can eat as usual.

In addition, when you are not sick, it is not recommended to take Cordyceps indiscriminately. Although Cordyceps is precious, except for targeted treatment, eating more in daily life has no special effect. It is just for strengthening the body.
