Brief profile:
Auricularia is one of the oldest and most popular edible mushrooms in Asia and has been cultivated for over 1,500 years. What is known as the Jew's ear mushroom is very mild and is thus valued in Europe for its components more than its flavour. These mushrooms have a jelly-like consistency and an ear- or shell-shaped fruiting body.
Auricularia auricula judae is rich in minerals such as potassium, silicon, iron, calcium and magnesium. The mushroom also contains B vitamins, proteins, glycoproteins, polysaccharides and secondary components. Polysaccharides, which include beta-D-glucans, are a further component.
