Wood Ear Mushroom in strips 100g

Also known as wood ear, this mushroom is common in many parts of the world, growing on dead or decaying trees, primarily oak and hazel, preferably in temperate and humid climates. In Spain, it is found in Catalonia, Asturias, the Basque Country, La Rioja, Castile and León, and parts of the Valencian Community. Wood ear is prized in cooking, especially in Asian cuisine, where it has been used for centuries in traditional dishes. Its elastic texture and mild flavor make it versatile in soups, stews, stir-fries, and salads. Furthermore, it absorbs the flavors of other ingredients, making it ideal in dishes with strong sauces or seasonings.
