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

Jew's ear mushrooms are edible fungi. The form described here is dried mushroom that has been soaked in water and remains raw. Per 100g, it provides 15g of carbohydrate, 1.1g of protein, 0.2g of fat and 6.8mg of iron. Carbohydrate is the main energy-providing nutrient in this form of the mushroom.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Iron from non-animal foods is generally less readily absorbed than iron from meat. These figures apply to the soaked mushrooms, rather than the dry product before soaking. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
