According to Swedish botanist Linnaeus of the 18th century, tremella was known as “sky fall”... it was thought to originate from fallen star matter. And we can't help but agree, this stuff tastes as magical as the stars.
This youth-restoring mushroom not only helps the body to slow down the natural signs of ageing, but also actively works to support the body in its fight against the enemies of youth in our modern lifestyle. For literally thousands of years, noble men and women of the Orient used Tremella (Tremella fuciformis) as a youth-preserving tonic and to create a healthy, radiant complexion. We are so grateful to have come across this beautiful, beautifying tonic herb to grace us with her presence. She is a joy to look at and a major joy to consume.
Tremella is an edible fungus and has several other names like Jelly Mushroom, Silver Ear Mushroom and Snow Fungus. It's the mushroom that really, surprises us all. It's one of the, if not THE best mushie to introduce to that person in your life who is feeling the "...but I don't like mushrooms, they taste weird...' vibes. We absolutely love this medicinal mushroom for its ability to be eaten straight off the spoon. (Did I mention it's delicious?)... 😋
This very gentle acting medicinal mushroom has long been considered a beauty superfood. Used for centuries, a species of Tremella (aka yellow butchers broom) was used in British folk lore for the treatment of chilblains. Another species (silver ears) was a favourite during the 16th century as a daily tonic for overall vigour and longevity. This mushroom is a powerhouse in its own right - it's high in antioxidants and a potent anti-inflammatory. Plus its a prebiotic, modulates the immune system AND supports healthy cholesterol profiles. Did I mention how delicious it is?
