Let's take a brief look at it.

As a country of great food, even in the cooking of medicinal herbs, Cordyceps sinensis has several traditional ways of eating, such as frying, boiling, stewing, soaking and chewing. However, the therapeutic effects of Cordyceps sinensis vary greatly depending on how it is eaten. In fact, after research, it was found that the best way to eat Cordyceps sinensis is to take it raw at room temperature, because this method of eating can minimize the damage to the original tissue of Cordyceps sinensis and maximize the medicinal value of Cordyceps sinensis.

In fact, no matter which of the above methods are used, the most important thing is not to damage the outer cell wall of Cordyceps sinensis, because the nutrients and energy within the cells account for more than 80% of the total, and the human body absorbs and utilizes less than 10% of these nutrients. Therefore, most of the nutrients in Cordyceps are wasted, but making soup, decocting in water, making tea, or making wine are not the best ways to consume Cordyceps, because these practices will make the "original flavor" of Cordyceps disappear.

Many substances in Cordyceps sinensis, such as cordycepic acid, cordycepin, cordyceps polysaccharides, amino acids, cordyceps peptides, proteins, more than 40 volatile substances, and various active enzymes will change under high temperatures. These elements will denature and volatilize when the temperature is higher than 60°C, thereby significantly reducing the efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis. The anti-tumor elements contained in Cordyceps sinensis are related to the molecular weight. When Cordyceps sinensis is heated, its molecular structure will undoubtedly change, and its anti-tumor effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the best way to eat Cordyceps sinensis is to simply wash it and chew it directly in your mouth. Chew as long as possible. The smaller the chewing size, the better. This will increase the absorption rate.
