Really Cordyceps will not have bitterness, but a faint fragrance! What you see on the market now is dried cordyceps sinensis, which is hard to tell from the truth! If you want to eat Cordyceps, but also the pursuit of taste, I suggest you look at the fresh Cordyceps in Yu Xuexian. This fresh Cordyceps sinensis will not be faked because it is fresh, and there is no need to worry about being cheated, and it tastes particularly good and rarely crisp! This is what I eat now. It's really good!
I have been eating Cordyceps for many years, and I have some experience. I hope I can help you!
