西藏那曲 野生 冬虫夏草30克 Size 1 Wild Cordyceps sinensis from Nagqu, Tibet (30g)

Cordyceps is a unique natural ingredient traditionally found in high-altitude regions. It forms when a type of fungus grows on the larva of an insect—during winter it appears like a “caterpillar,” and in summer a slender, grass-like stalk grows from it, which is how it gets its name.

Key Characteristics

• Appearance: One end resembles a small caterpillar, with a thin, grass-like stem extending from it
• Color: Yellowish-brown body with a darker brown stem
• Aroma: Mild, slightly earthy and mushroom-like
• Origin: Commonly sourced from the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions

Common Uses

Cordyceps is often used as a premium culinary ingredient in everyday cooking:

• Added to soups (such as chicken or pork broth)
• Steeped in hot water or gently simmered
• Combined with other ingredients in traditional dishes
