100% Pure Chaga Powder

Terza Luna’s Chaga mushroom powder is made from finely milled Inonotus obliquus, a functional mushroom traditionally appreciated in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as in Asia. Also known as birch mushroom, Chaga is valued for its distinctive appearance, deep dark colour and long-standing use in decoctions and warm drinks.

This pure Chaga powder contains no additives, sweeteners, preservatives or fillers. It is designed for those looking for a versatile mushroom ingredient for herbal drinks, smoothies and everyday recipes.

What is Chaga?

Inonotus obliquus, commonly known as Chaga, is a fungus that develops mainly on birch trees in cold northern climates. Its dark cracked exterior resembles charred wood, while the inner part is brown to rusty orange. In traditional use, Chaga has long been prepared as a decoction or infusion.

Unlike many classic culinary mushrooms, Chaga is not usually consumed as a fresh mushroom in recipes. It is instead appreciated in powdered form, decoctions and functional food preparations.

Taste and aroma

Chaga powder has a deep, earthy and slightly woody flavour, with mild bitter notes and a rounded profile that works particularly well in warm beverages. Its taste is often appreciated by people looking for a more roasted and robust mushroom drink.

It can be used in Chaga tea, herbal decoctions, plant-based lattes, smoothies and functional drink blends. It also combines well with cacao, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla.

Nutritional profile of Inonotus obliquus

Chaga is the subject of growing scientific interest because of its naturally occurring compounds, including:

• Polysaccharides and beta-glucans
• Polyphenols and antioxidant compounds
• Melanin-related pigments
• Triterpenes and mushroom-specific compounds
• Dietary fibre

This makes Chaga powder an interesting ingredient within a varied and balanced diet. It is naturally suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
