We’ve got dozens of “what the hell” food trends over the years and the mushroom coffee is the latest craze that’s overtaking the world by storm. Judging by what we’ve seen so far, this trend is here to stay and it actually comes with many health benefits.
For starters, this tasty beverage has half the amount of caffeine than your standard coffee. Despite what its name might suggest, it doesn’t actually taste like mushrooms. Species of fungi used to make mushroom powder have an earthier flavor and can serve as an amazing natural energy booster at the beginning of your day.
Company Four Sigmatics is the leader in the field of producing this type of coffee and they mostly use four types of fungi to make their special powder: chaga, lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps. This powder can be added to your regular black coffee, but you can mix it with other beverages of your choosing.
Many coffee lovers are embracing this trend because mushrooms have many health benefits. They are rich source of vitamins and minerals, and some varieties can even help with regulating blood sugar levels and counteracting the acid in your regular coffee.
