Cold Fungus

Cold Fungus

Overview

I soaked the leftover fungus from cooking the day before yesterday. I wanted to eat something lighter tonight so I made a cold dish. The medicinal use of black fungus has been recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" of the Han Dynasty: Black fungus, also known as ear, wood moth, tree chicken, cloud ear, and black cabbage, is an edible fungus that grows on dead wood. It is named because of its light brown color and shape like a human ear. Black fungus is dark brown in color, soft in texture, delicious in taste, rich in nutrients, and can be vegetarian or meatless. It not only adds charm to Chinese cuisine, but also nourishes the blood, improves the appearance, and cures diseases and prolongs life. Black fungus is rich in nutrients and has the reputation of being the most delicious of meats and the most beautiful of fungi. Its nutritional value is comparable to that of animal foods, and it is also known as the best fungus together with mushrooms. The nutritional value of black fungus is high. Every 100 grams of black fungus contains 10.6 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, 65.5 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of crude fiber. It also contains vitamins B1, vitamin B2, carotene, niacin and other vitamins and inorganic salts. It is particularly worth mentioning that black fungus has an extremely high iron content, which is the highest among all foods. Therefore, black fungus is a very good natural blood-tonifying vegetable. Black fungus is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, and has the functions of detoxifying, clearing the stomach and intestines, coagulating blood and stopping bleeding.
