Method of consuming Cordyceps sinensis – specific method of crushing using a household blender

Cordyceps sinensis is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. Due to its high price, ordinary crushing methods can cause significant losses and it is difficult to directly crush it into fine powder. Using a microwave oven to dry for 2-3 seconds, and then using a household food mixer to crush, will not damage the effective ingredients of cordyceps, but can also dry and sterilize the cordyceps.

Nowadays, many people like to buy some cordyceps and brew it directly for drinking, or crush the cordyceps and soak it in water for drinking. But it is difficult to directly crush cordyceps into fine powder with a daily mortar, and due to repeated pounding, it is easy for the powder to fly in an open space, causing certain losses.

The specific method of using a household blender for crushing is as follows: first, use a microwave oven to dry the cordyceps at a “medium low” or “medium high” temperature control level for 2-3 seconds, allowing it to dry and turn into a burnt yellow color. Do not over bake, otherwise it will affect the medicinal properties. Let the dried cordyceps cool slightly, then use a household food mixer to crush it. Put the cordyceps into a crushed plastic tube and crush it for about 3 seconds. If you want to grind it finer, simply extend the grinding time and finally use a brush to collect the cordyceps powder. The quantum energy of microwave ovens is not large enough, so it will not change the internal structure of molecules, nor will it affect the effective ingredients of drugs, and the drying and sterilization effects are relatively good.
