Cordyceps is a natural plant food, one that you can use as a culinary ingredient in a variety of ways, so that you can enjoy the health benefits that Cordyceps offers.
At Raw Living, we have been using Cordyceps in this way for many years and we are passionate about bringing this new class of foods to you, and showing you how you can introduce them into your kitchen. When we consume these foods on a regular basis, we learn to be more aware of our body's needs, and more conscious that the very best way of keeping healthy is to watch what we eat. On this site and in Kate's books, we offer information on the most easy and accessible ways to take in these foods that can help keep us balanced and well.
Many of these foods are relatively new to us in the West, and to the majority of people they are still unheard of. In actual fact, they have been used in the countries they originate from for hundreds and often thousands of years, and are still in common use today. It is our wish to introduce to you a whole world of plants that feed the body in the truest sense. It is only in recent times that we consume food that does not have the minerals and nutritional content that nature intended. On our site, you can find many ways to add these foods into existing recipes, and also find many more exciting new recipes, making your entire culinary experience so much more interesting, and most importantly, helping you stay fully energised, and ever so slightly superhuman.

Cordyceps is a highly prized mushroom in Chinese herbology. This is one of the strangest phenonema in nature. The mushroom releases its spores into the atmosphere in the high Himalayan mountains, there a specific type of caterpillar lives in this otherwise barren alpine setting. A spore of Cordyceps must land directly between the eyes of the caterpillar, then begins to spread its mycelia into the worm, eventually completely consuming it, but retaining the same shape. The resulting body of the mushroom exactly resembles the worm, yet is completely vegetarian. Then the Cordyceps grows a 'fruiting body' off of what was the head of the caterpillar, and releases its spores to begin another cycle.
Cordyceps is prized in Asia as a slightly Yang Jing tonic herb, benefitting the immune system, particularly lung immunity.
We provide you with 70 grams of high quality Cordyceps.
