Black fungus, also known as wood ear or cloud ear mushroom, is a popular ingredient in East Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese dishes like hot and sour soup and stir-fries. This dark, chewy fungus is prized for its subtle flavor and ability to absorb seasonings. Rich in dietary fiber, it promotes digestion and supports gut health, while its high content of iron and vitamin B2 helps maintain energy levels and healthy blood cells. Black fungus also contains antioxidants and polysaccharides that may support immune function and reduce inflammation. Naturally low in calories and fat, it’s a heart-friendly choice for balanced diets. However, it is essential to source black fungus carefully, as improper harvesting or storage can risk contamination. Rehydrating dried black fungus before use is recommended for safe and optimal cooking. Incorporating black fungus into meals offers both nutritious benefits and unique textural depth.
