I like to think of them as healthy little punches of flavor since they contain no fat, and even vegans can eat them. Having dried shiitake mushrooms stocked in your pantry means that you always have a flavorful ingredient at your fingertips. They can last for months, maybe even years, if stored in an airtight container in a cool place or the refrigerator. Reach for dried shiitake mushrooms when making Chinese sticky rice, soup or broth, and when you need another ingredient to add to a stir-fry. Another great thing about using dried mushrooms? Since you have to re-hydrate them in hot water before they can be used, the mushroom soaking liquid that you're left with is a tasty bonus ingredient! Don't waste that liquid - use it in the place of chicken broth or as the base of a sauce. Auricularia polytricha is usually sold dried and needs to be soaked before use. While almost tasteless, it is prized for its slippery but slightly crunchy texture, and its potential medicinal properties, including its newly discovered anticoagulant properties.[4] Of note, the slight crunchiness persists despite most cooking processes.[5] As per Chinese medicine practitioners, eating dried and cooked wood ear can have health benefits for people with high blood pressure, cancer and can prevent coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. It may also be effective in reducing LDL cholesterol and aortic atherosclerotic plaque, as demonstrated in a study on rabbits. However, no health claims are being made for this product Thanks to Wikipedia for providing the above information. ## Features - 2 ounces makes 1 POUND when cooked Just place the dried cloud ear mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and add really hot or even boiling water to cover it by a few inches. Let the mushrooms sit for at least 20 minutes until the caps are tender. When the mushrooms are tender, pluck them out and squeeze out the excess water. - They are healthy little punches of flavor since they contain no fat, and even vegans can eat them! Great in Soups, Stews, with Beef, lamb or pork, Gravy, and Stir Fries - Reach for dried cloud ear mushrooms when making soup or broth, and when you need another ingredient to add to a stir-fry, stew, omlette, spaghetti sauce or pasta, pizza or . . . wherever your imagination takes you! - Best used by May of 2017, but will still be very good for a year after that. 100% Guarantee - Please note these are dried.
