Mushrooms, Jew's ear, tough, dried, raw

Jew’s ear mushrooms are edible fungi with a tough texture. These figures describe the dried, raw form, rather than mushrooms that have been rehydrated or cooked. Per 100g, they provide 69g of carbohydrate, 4.8g of protein, 2g of fat and 22mg of iron. Carbohydrate is the main source of energy in this food.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Iron from non-animal foods is generally less readily absorbed than iron from meat. Drying removes water and concentrates nutrients by weight, so these figures should not be applied directly to rehydrated mushrooms. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
