What exactly is Kida Jadi?
Kida Jadi — "insect-herb" — is the Himalayan caterpillar fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis. A fungus infects a ghost-moth caterpillar underground, mummifies it, and in spring sends up a slender stalk — the Tibetans call it Yartsa Gunbu, "winter-worm, summer-grass."
- Grows only at 3,000–5,000 m in the Himalayas & Tibetan Plateau
- Prized in Tibetan & Chinese medicine for over 1,000 years
- Nicknamed "Himalayan Viagra" and "Himalayan Gold"
