what do you do with yours?
do you dry it in the sun for max vit D? there's no sodding sun here so I don't tend to.
I did try to dry and grind it once, didn't work.

They take a real long time to air dry , like months using a dehydrator works ok but they stay sort off plyable so powdering is hard but a cheep coffee grinder

I love the constant learning here as I didn't think Turkey tail was an edible. Is it used medicinally?

It is believed to strengthen the immune system, particularly by enhancing the workings of one of the most critical cells, known as T helper cells. T helper cells tell all the other cells in the immune system what to do and to what degree, and when to stop.
The Chinese have researched the possibility that it could be effective in strengthening against some cancers but a twice weekly tea will keep day to day flus and colds at bay :-)

You must have a really good coffee grinder ;-p hahaha yeah, when I ground them it went stringy then stunk the house out when I tried to boil it up :/ it's meant to be almost as good as chaga health-wise! I think I'll stick to chucking one or two in a stew then removing at the end - too chewy! |
