Tremella (AKA white fungus, snow fungus) has been used for centuries for its beauty-enhancing benefits. Like other mushrooms, tremella is loaded with vitamin D, high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. Many of tremella’s health benefits are due to its high amounts of polysaccharides which are antioxidants that can help keep our complexion hydrated and healthy. High amounts of vitamin D in tremella play a role in helping skin cell growth and both repairing and preventing premature skin aging. Vitamin D is also a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it plays a role in keeping skin hydrated and supple.In addition to helping keep skin looking smooth and glowing, tremella has a lot of other health benefits, such as helping to boost the immune system and lower inflammation. TCM Indications: Nourishes yin and moistens dryness. It is useful for recovery from illness or surgery resulting in physical weakness, also for chronic cough, bloody sputum, uterine bleeding, constipation, hypertension, and arteriosclerosis. Precautions: people with mushroom allergies should use caution. People with chronic cough with sputum that is either clear and watery (internal cold) or thick and yellow (damp heat) should avoid use and address the underlying imbalance. Tremella has a rather mild, slightly sweet taste. They are especially used in Southeast Asian soups and desserts, though their mild taste makes them good for a variety of dishes. Cooking tremella releases its collagen into the soup. How to cook tremella:Soak the tremella in cold water until it fully expands（ soak it in hot water, the soaking time will be shortened ), Rinse it carefully, then cut off the yellow hard part at the bottom center (this part must be removed). Wash it thoroughly and break it into small pieces. Place water and tremella in a pot, and cook for 20-30 minutes. Remove and rinse it clean. You can then stir-fry or stew it with other dishes. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference for a crunchy or soft texture. Sweet Tremella SoupIn a cooking pot of cold water to cover the tremella, bring the water to boil then simmer for 60 minutes.  Add a handful of Jujube red dates and simmer for another 20 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of dried goji berries and simmer for 2 minutes. After turning off the heat, let it steep for an additional 30 minutes to fully release the gelatinous texture. Sweeten with rock sugar or your preferred sweetener.( (it's recommended to add sugar last to help the fungus cook down more easily). This dish can be enjoyed hot or cold. **Adjust the cooking and steeping times based on your desired texture.
