What should I do if Cordyceps sinensis is moldy?

I believe everyone has had this experience: things at home have become moldy due to poor storage. For ordinary things, you may not feel sorry if you throw them away, it may just be a bit of a waste. However, for Cordyceps sinensis, which some families use to supplement the body, it is really difficult to deal with if it becomes moldy. It is a pity to throw it away. Such an expensive and good thing, if you don’t throw it away, you may also be worried that it will harm people. So, what should you do if the Cordyceps sinensis is moldy?

How to deal with moldy Cordyceps sinensis? There is no good way. The moldy Cordyceps sinensis must first be tested for the degree of mold. The method is to select 5 representative Cordyceps sinensis, break them from the middle and look at the color of their cross-section. The whiter the color, the less the quality damage, and the yellower the color, the greater the quality damage.

It is recommended that if it is slightly moldy, you can wipe the mildew on the surface of the Cordyceps with white wine, then expose it to the sun and put it in the refrigerator. If the mold is very serious and has no benefit to your health, I suggest you throw it away.

How to choose the best Cordyceps sinensis? Real Cordyceps sinensis smells fresh and a little fishy. Fake products may have a slight mushroom aroma, but they do not have any fishy smell, so you need to have a sensitive nose when purchasing.

The appearance of Cordyceps sinensis is khaki or yellow-brown. The insect part will appear dark yellow or brown, while the grass part will appear the color of dead branches. In addition, you can also break the Cordyceps sinensis and see if there is milky white color at the fracture position, and there will also be semicircular or V-shaped black on the fracture.

Above I have told you what to do if Cordyceps sinensis is moldy. There are two situations for this problem. If it is minor, there is no problem with handling it, but if it is serious, it is best not to eat it. Nothing is more important than health. I want to remind everyone that to avoid this situation, Cordyceps sinensis is best sealed and refrigerated.
