What is Chaga Mushroom Exactly?

Chaga mushroom is a type of mushroom that primarily grows on the bark of birch trees in cold climates, such as those of Scandinavia, Siberia, Canada, and Alaska. In Dutch, the mushroom is called “Berkenweerschijnzwam,” and in Latin, it is known as “Inonotus obliquus.” For centuries, Chaga has been used as a traditional medicine in Scandinavia, mainly to boost the immune system and promote overall health. Chaga is low in calories, rich in fiber, and filled with antioxidants. Chaga likely has the highest ORAC value of any plant-based food in the world.

The best way to use Chaga is to use a Chaga extract or Chaga powder. Chaga extract is a concentrated form of Chaga that is ready to use; you simply add it to hot water, and your Chaga tea is ready. You can also add it to your smoothies, yogurt, or other hot beverages like coffee. If you use Chaga powder, it’s a bit more complicated; you need to add the powder to boiling water and let it simmer for at least 45 minutes. You can let it simmer for up to 3 hours; the longer you simmer it, the stronger the end result. For more information about Chaga, please visit here.
