Mushroom Coffee and it's Benefits
Mushroom Coffee Benefits and Healthy Recipes
Trying to get a kick of caffeine without the jitters? Mushroom coffee might be the perfect choice for you! The unique blend of mushrooms and coffee beans provide a natural energy boost but without the side effects some people experience from regular coffee.
To help you decide which mushroom coffee brand is best for you, here are five of the best on the market.
First lets explore...
What is Mushroom Coffee?
If you need a quick refresher, mushroom coffee is a type of coffee blended with the extracts of a variety of mushrooms. Most commonly, the mushrooms blended into mushroom coffee include chaga, lion’s man, or reishi. However, they may also include turkey tail, shiitake, and/or maitake.
What Should You Look for in a Mushroom Coffee?
When looking for a mushroom coffee, keep the following things in mind to ensure that you’re getting a high-quality, safe and effective, product:
1. The quality of the mushrooms used: You want high quality mushrooms, for starters. Bonus points if they are organic and sourced from reputable suppliers.
The reason this is so important is that when mushrooms aren’t processed properly, they are unable to preserve their active compounds and nutrients.
2. The quality of the coffee added to the blend: Organic and high quality coffee is also important to look for in your mushroom coffee blend. This way you can ensure your coffee is free from contaminants.
3. How the company extracts the mushroom compounds: If you don’t process mushrooms just right, you might as well be drinking plain black coffee because improper processing destroys the beneficial compounds.
4. Reviews: What are other people saying about the mushroom coffee you are considering purchasing? Read good, bad, and mediocre reviews. And, where possible, read them from more than one source. Amazon tends to have a problem with skewed reviews on some products, and if there are no bad reviews at all, the reviews are probably not authentic!
5. Flavor: Yes, this means buying multiple brands and trying them all to see which one you like best. Some mushroom coffees have a stronger mushroom flavor than others, and some have a unique taste and aroma that can be off putting. You have to test multiple to find the one that meets your flavor profile…or at least one that you can acclimate to the taste of.
6. Certifications: You want to ensure that the mushroom coffee you are consuming has been tested for things like:
- Heavy metals
- Pesticides
- Contaminants
And, look for third-party certifications from trusted organizations such as:
- USDA Organic
- Non-GMO Project Verified, and
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)
