Can Mushroom Coffee Really Be Good For Your Health?

You’ve probably heard of mushroom coffee and perhaps you’ve already tried it. If you’re following the food and beverage trends, you’ve probably also heard that mushroom coffee is good for your health. How true is this?

First of all, who even came up with the idea of mushroom coffee? It happened in Finland, where they frequently use a mushroom called Chaga to make tea. Chaga mushrooms are known to contain plenty of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, potassium, rubidium, copper, fiber, etc.

Back in 2012, Finland-born founder of Four Sigmatic Tero Isokauppila tried mixing organic Chaga and cordyceps mushroom extract with coffee which resulted in a beverage called mushroom coffee. To make it at home, all you need is regular coffee, dried and ground mushrooms, and hot water. You can then flavor it however you like.

But what about health benefits? Both coffee and mushrooms contain nutrients and antioxidants that can benefit you in the long run. When made right, the beverage can be very tasty, providing you a great flavor while also improving your digestive system and managing your stress levels.
