jelly ear fungus

Jelly ear fungus, also known as wood ear or Jews ear, is a rich source of antioxidants, nutrients, medicinal compounds, vitamins and minerals - all in their most perfect natural form. They are immune boosting and aid digestive health

These ear like mushrooms can also help to reduce inflammation and are a good source of complex B vitamins and many other bio-active compounds such as polysaccharides that improve heart function and lower cholesterol. They contain an acidic polysaccharide which gives it anticoagulant properties, therefore it is not recommended to be consumed by anyone on blood thinning medication

Jelly ear fungus must be cooked and not eaten raw. They can be added to pasta, soup, broth or salad and can be candied and coated in chocolate
