Is fresh or dried cordyceps better?

There is a certain difference between fresh Cordyceps and dried Cordyceps, which is mainly reflected in six aspects, such as taste, nutritional value, eating method, time, and time, as follows:

1. The taste is different.

Fresh Cordyceps tastes crispier and sweeter, and has no fishy smell and sweet taste, while dried Cordyceps tastes strong and has a fishy smell and is slightly sweet.

2. The nutritional value is different.

Compared with the nutritional value of fresh Cordyceps and dried Cordyceps, the nutritional value of fresh Cordyceps is generally higher than that of dried Cordyceps.

3. Different ways to eat.

Fresh Cordyceps can be eaten directly, while dried Cordyceps is generally used for powdering, boiling water, and making soup.

4. The time is different.

The ** period of fresh Cordyceps is less than two months, and there are generally fresh Cordyceps from the end of April to mid-June every year, and dried Cordyceps is available all year round.

5. **Different.

Compared with fresh Cordyceps and dried Cordyceps, fresh Cordyceps is generally much more expensive than dried Cordyceps.

From the appearance alone, fresh Cordyceps looks relatively clean on the outside, while dried Cordyceps looks dirtier due to drying.

The superoxide dismutase contained in fresh Cordyceps can eliminate the harmful oxides produced by the human body in the process of metabolism and external influences, and has antioxidant and anti-aging effects.

Differences: 1. Different nutritional value: the nutrient absorption rate of fresh grass is better than that of hay, and fresh grass can be eaten directly as long as it is short, which is easier for the human body to absorb. Hay is generally used for powdering, boiling water, and making soup.

2. The cleanliness of the insect body is different: the cleaning of fresh grass is simpler and more in place, and the direct oral effect of the treated and clean Cordyceps is more perfect. Fresh Cordyceps sinensis, the ** period is less than two months.

Every year, from the end of April to the middle of June, it is listed from low altitude to high altitude. Cordyceps is not.

3. The taste is different: the taste of fresh Cordyceps sinensis is crisper and sweeter and no fishy smell, and the taste of dried Cordyceps is strong and fishy, with a fishy smell (oxidation result) and slightly sweet. The main difference is in the fishy smell, which can be chosen according to the taste since each person has a different preference.

I was in the Cordyceps business in Qinghai, the kind that I resold and re-sold. It is difficult to distinguish the difference between fresh Cordyceps and dried Cordyceps from the appearance alone, one point is that fresh Cordyceps is moist and full than dried Cordyceps, and the color of fresh Cordyceps is very vibrant; The main difference is that fresh Cordyceps contains more than 1,000 active ingredients, while dried Cordyceps loses these active ingredients due to water evaporation; Of course, the nutritional value and medicinal effect of fresh Cordyceps are many times higher than that of dried Cordyceps, because dried Cordyceps is dehydrated, just like apples are more nutritious than dried apples.

As far as I know, fresh Cordyceps can't cure all diseases, and it's not a miracle cure, but it is still relatively effective in regulating the human immune system in both directions, and can prevent the occurrence of all diseases in advance. At present, there are many brands of Cordyceps products in China, most of which sell dog meat on the head of sheep, and I personally feel that the authenticity of 30+ life yuan Cordyceps pulp is relatively high.

Fresh Cordyceps sinensis has a higher nutritional value, and dried Cordyceps loses a large amount of active ingredients due to water evaporation. 2.Fresh cordyceps sinensis tastes better, fragrant and sweet, you can chew it directly, and you can't chew it dry.

3.Because fresh Cordyceps is not easy to preserve, it is only sold from March to July, and the higher the place, the later the output. Due to the short time and high cost, there are few fakes.

There are a lot of fakes, and I personally feel that it is more cost-effective to buy fresh ones and keep them, and they are much cheaper.

The main effect is to improve immunity and nourish. In addition, it is good for the lungs, and you can wear more masks during this time, so you can take advantage of the fresh goods to buy some new ones or take them for a long time to start your health. In the past, the elderly talked about health preservation, but now overtime and health care are about to become the standard.

Fresh Cordyceps is high in active ingredients and easy to absorb, while dried Cordyceps loses a lot of nutrients during the drying process; Fresh Cordyceps can regulate the pH of cells, thereby regulating the body and preventing diseases.

Fresh is better than dryFresh Cordyceps is easier to clean than dry Cordyceps, and the cleanliness after cleaning is also more in place, because the hay is made by removing the surface dirt after picking and then drying in the shade, and it will inevitably be contaminated with dust during storage.

Fresh Cordyceps contains more than 1,000 active ingredients, and some of the nutrients of dried Cordyceps sinensis will be lost after drying, and heat-sensitive components such as Cordyceps polysaccharides may be denatured or inactivated due to high temperature.

The fresh Cordyceps sinensis that can be purchased on the market will be dug up, and the surface dirt will be removed, and then directly vacuum-packed, so as to maximize the nutrition and efficacy, and it is more convenient for the human body to digest and absorb after eating.

Fresh cordyceps will be better.

During the drying process, the water of dried cordyceps will evaporate by 30% to 50%, and the active nutrients in the body of Cordyceps will also be lost a large amount of nutrients rapidly, and some nutrients will be lost when cooking at high temperature when eating.

Fresh Cordyceps does not go through the process of drying in the shade, and the nutritional value is better preserved. In addition, fresh grass is more difficult to fake, so in terms of nutrition and safety, fresh cordyceps is better, and there is a popular saying that "one fresh grass is worth 3 hay".

Advantages and disadvantages of fresh cordyceps

Advantages: 1. Fresh Cordyceps sinensis has not been dried, the active ingredients and nutrients are more intact and easier to be absorbed by the human body.

2. Fresh cordyceps sinensis tastes better, with a faint fresh taste of matsutake mushrooms, toughness, chewiness, and sweetness after eating.

Disadvantages: Fresh Cordyceps has a short shelf life, and due to its high protein content, it is easy to breed bacteria and germs and spoil them.

Fresh cordyceps is better. It is difficult to tell the difference between fresh and dried Cordyceps from the appearance alone. One thing is that fresh cordyceps are moister and fuller than dried cordyceps, and the color of fresh cordyceps is very bright; The main difference is that fresh Cordyceps contains more than 1,000 active ingredients, while dried Cordyceps loses these active ingredients due to water evaporation; Of course, the nutritional value and medicinal benefits of fresh cordyceps are many times higher than that of dried cordyceps, because dried cordyceps is dehydrated, just like apples are always more nutritious than dried apples.

As far as I know, fresh cordyceps sinensis cannot cure all diseases, nor is it a panacea, but it has a good two-way regulatory effect on the human immune system and can prevent all diseases in advance.

Cordyceps is still doing well.

Fresh Cordyceps refers to Cordyceps with a moisture content ranging from 60% to 80%, which has not been dried by wind and has not been dried recently, and needs to be stored in vacuum freezing for a short period of time (3 to 6 months). Dried Cordyceps refers to Cordyceps dried after air drying with a water content of less than 2% and 10%, which can be stored in a dry place or vacuum frozen for a long time (2 to 3 years). In the process of fresh Cordyceps circulation, there are conditional restrictions on temperature, logistics time, and sealing, and it will be broken directly after repeated thawing, and cannot be transported twice.

Therefore, dried cordyceps is more conducive to storage and circulation.

The taste of fresh Cordyceps sinensis is crisper, sweeter and no fishy smell, and the taste of dried Cordyceps has a strong bacterial aroma with a fishy smell (oxidation result) and is slightly sweet. The quality and efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis is related to the altitude where it is produced, and the higher the altitude, the higher the quality of Cordyceps.

Recommended ways to eat Cordyceps:

1. Boil water to drink.

Put Cordyceps sinensis in a health pot, add an appropriate amount of water, boil over low heat for 6-10 minutes, then immediately pour out the water to drink, then add water and boil for ten minutes, pour it out and drink it, add water to boil again, and so on and boil until the water boiled out of Cordyceps sinensis becomes light.

2. Stew with meat.

Cordyceps can be used to stew duck, chicken, pork ribs, etc. Cordyceps sinensis is very delicious to eat through stewed soup. However, when stewing the soup, you need to pay attention to simmering over low heat, and the cordyceps sinensis can not be put into the pot too early, 10 minutes before the pot can be cooked, and the cordyceps sinensis can be eaten together after drinking the soup.

3. Soak in wine. Cordyceps sinensis soaked in wine, this method is more suitable for people who like to drink Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps sinensis is soaked in white wine or rice wine for a period of time and then drunk. Generally, it is 10 grams of Cordyceps for a pound of wine.
