Cordyceps have been used for more than 300 years as a remedy for treating kidney ailments, chronic fatigue, and low libido.
 
Traditionally, this amazing fungus was only made available by the wild harvesting of Cordyceps Sinensis, a species that grows naturally on caterpillars high in the Tibetan plateau.
 
This oddly specific wild version became increasingly rare, and prices eventually skyrocketed to more than £10,000 per kilo!

Luckily, another species known as Cordyceps militaris was discovered to be just as powerful – the main difference being that it doesn’t need to grow on insects, and can be cultivated organically on rice and soy. 
 
Cordyceps militaris are best when roasted in a hot pan with olive oil and finished with fresh herbs.
