Pure white, it has a gelatinous texture and a coral shape.

One cup of tremella has 326 calories, less than one gram of fat, and more than 12 grams of protein. Tremella is extremely high in dietary fiber, offering 178% of the daily recommended intake. constituents include; beta glucans, polysaccharides, mucilage, vitamin D, B spectrum vitamins, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and bioactive ingredients including, fatty acids,  enzymes, polysaccharides, phenols, flavonoids, and more.

    How to cook white fungus

    Dried white fungus should be prepped before cooking by following these simple steps:

    1. Soaking. Cover the dried mushroom with water, and let it sit for 1 to 3 hours or until all of it becomes gelatinously soft.
    2. Trimming. Trim off the yellow bottom part, as it remains hard after soaking.
    3. Washing. Tear the fungus into small, petal-like pieces or keep it whole. Wash thoroughly and drain or pat dry. It is ready to steam until soft or add to soups. Do not overcook it or it may dissolve. 

     

    ZHANGZHOU TREMELLA PREMIUM WHITE FUNGUS has a sweet taste and bland texture and is traditionally cooked in soups, both sweet and savory. Still, you may enjoy its crunchy texture and beautiful appearance as an ingredient in other everyday dishes.
