How to test the degree of mildew?
If the color of the cross section is broken from the middle, the whiter the cross section is, which means that the quality is less damaged. If the mildew phenomenon is not serious, the Cordyceps sinensis can be washed and dried, and then eaten as soon as possible.
Moldy treatment method
If the mildew of Cordyceps sinensis is serious, wash it with alcohol and boiling hot water, then drain it slightly, put it in a ventilated place and dry it as soon as possible. If the degree of mildew is not particularly serious, you can wash it with white wine and then seal it with a sealed bag. Although the effect may not be obvious, washing with liquor can achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization. Similarly, eat it as soon as possible after cleaning.
Storage of Cordyceps sinensis
First of all, in order to effectively avoid the mildew of Cordyceps sinensis, it is necessary to know the longest preservation time of Cordyceps sinensis. If it is in a cool and dry environment, the longest storage time of Cordyceps sinensis is two years, and the eating effect is the best within two years. At the same time, Cordyceps sinensis frozen in the refrigerator will keep its freshness for a long time, but it is recommended to eat it as soon as possible after purchase to avoid nutrient loss and prevent the efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis from declining. If it exceeds the normal storage time, Cordyceps sinensis will be as moldy as other stored products and will not be edible at that time.
