What is this food?
AI-assisted Black wood ear mushroom (dried), a type of fungus/vegetable used in soups, stir-fries, and noodle dishes. When dried, it’s usually rehydrated before cooking.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Black wood ear mushrooms are high in dietary fiber (about 29.5g per 100g), which helps you feel full and supports regular digestion. They also have very little fat and no sugar, making them a good add-on to balanced meals. Since dried mushrooms are more concentrated, they can be higher in carbohydrates than fresh vegetables, but most of that carbs comes from fiber. They also have sodium (about 110mg per 100g), so it’s best to watch how salty the broth or seasonings are, especially if you’re eating this often.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use a reasonable portion: start with about 1–2 tablespoons dry, then rehydrate and add to your ulam or soup.
- Pair with lean protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a serving of vegetables to complete your 3 meals and 1–2 snacks.
- Go easy on salty sauces (soy sauce, bouillon, instant seasoning). Flavor with garlic, ginger, pepper, and herbs.
- If you’re adding to soup, add it early so it softens well, and keep the broth lighter for everyday meals.
