For centuries, traditional folk medicine in Siberia and other parts of Asia has prized chaga mushroom for its impressive health-supporting properties, which include high levels of antioxidants and beta-glucans. This powerhouse fungus is now widely available in Western markets, but its tough, woody texture means it cannot be eaten raw like other mushrooms.

This guide explores the different methods of consumption and preparation.
