Hi Shawnalee! I am so sorry but I don’t have a proper food scale. The chunks I used filled a 1 cup measure. Your 750g chuck sounds quite large so I would try the recipe with that.

Hi Crystal, Thank you so much for sharing!It contradicts the research I have done, it is always great to see both sides of the research.

It is the high heat that breaks down the chitins and allows the beneficial properties to become bioavailable, but only the water soluble ones. Without the high heat, the chitins aren’t broken down and the mushroom has almost no benefits because most people don’t have the necessary chitinase in our gastric juices to digest them.

Additionally, there are still a whole host of beneficial properties not even touched by the teas because they must be broken down in alcohol to release those properties.

Here is the link to an in-depth study of this amazing mushroom. I think you will find it quite fascinating. They also debunk a lot of the hype and tell you what to look for to find a quality product.

Best of Luck,

Thank you so much Diana! You can find most of the ingredients at big grocery stores and all of them at health food stores. You can also order them online on Amazon.

Lots of Love.

Hi Barbara! I haven’t actually created a recipe with them yet because I actually like the mushroom-y flavour of Reishi Tea! It would probably taste good mixed with herbs though.
