Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms

Dried Wood Ear Mushroom is a common ingredient in East Asian cuisines — often used in stir-fries, soups and cold salads — prized for its crunchy, slightly gelatinous texture after rehydration. It is typically sold dried and reconstituted before cooking, and is known for absorbing flavors while adding body to dishes. Nutrition-wise, Dried Wood Ear Mushroom is notable for its high fiber content, providing about 50g of fiber per 100g (dried), and it is low in fat while supplying modest protein and several minerals. Because it’s dried, calories concentrate but when rehydrated the volume increases, so it contributes bulk and mouthfeel with relatively few calories in prepared dishes. From a health perspective, wood ear mushrooms are a mineral-rich, fiber-forward food that supports digestive regularity and provides iron and calcium. They’re also low in saturated fat and work well as a plant-forward ingredient to boost texture and nutrition in meals.
