About Wood ear fungus
Wood ear fungus, also known as Auricularia auricula-judae or by names like black fungus or cloud ear, is a nutrient-rich edible mushroom commonly used in Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Renowned for its crisp, jelly-like texture, it’s a popular addition to soups, stir-fries, and salads. Low in calories and fat-free, wood ear fungus is packed with essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. It contains antioxidants and polysaccharides, which may support immune function and overall health. Additionally, it’s celebrated for its potential blood-thinning properties and ability to promote cardiovascular health due to its contribution to healthy cholesterol levels. However, individuals on blood-thinning medications should monitor intake and consult with their healthcare provider. Wood ear fungus is usually sold dried and needs soaking before cooking, making it a versatile pantry staple for adding texture and nutrients to a variety of dishes.
