🌿 Birch chaga – the power of nature from the birch groves of Latvia

Birch chaga is one of the oldest natural gifts that people have used to enhance well-being and in daily rituals . Today, as we increasingly seek clean, local and meaningful products, chaga is experiencing a well-deserved comeback in modern cuisine.

At the social enterprise IEBER.LV, we offer chaga in a measurable form – for an informed choice without unnecessary packaging.

🌲 What is birch chaga?

CHAGA (Inonotus obliquus) is a species of mushroom that grows only on living birch trees . It is no ordinary mushroom – chaga forms very slowly, over 10–15 years, accumulating the vitality of the birch and concentrating various biologically active substances.

Externally, chaga looks like a black, hard formation on a trunk, but it is this inconspicuous appearance that hides its special value.

📜 Chaga in traditions and culture

Chaga has been used in Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, and Siberia since the 16th century .
For centuries it was used:

• as a daily tea ,

• to strengthen the body,

• for support during longer winter periods.

Today, chaga is valued as a functional natural product that fits into a conscious lifestyle.
