According to legend, after his shameful betrayal, Judas repented and hanged himself from an elder tree. Since this strange ear-shaped mushroom grows mainly on old elder trees, it was initially called Judas’s ear. It is now more widely known as wood ear.
The wood ear is rich in iron, potassium and magnesium. This mushroom is also used for its crunchy texture and its colour.
How to prepare mushrooms
Cook this mushroom very quickly. Wood ear is eaten raw, blanched or cooked. It gives soups, salads, fried dishes, vegetables and stews an unusual texture. It absorbs the cooking liquid and flavours the food combined with it.
How to store mushrooms.
Our asian mushrooms are sold in film-covered punnets allowing the product to breathe.
We advise you to keep this film on the punnet to prevent the mushrooms from drying out and losing weight during storage. Keep them in the bottom of your fridge at a temperature of +/-6℃ where they can easily be kept for up to days. They can also be dried or frozen.
