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

Jew's ear mushrooms are edible fungi; the figures here describe tender mushrooms in their dried, raw form. Carbohydrate is the main macronutrient provided. Per 100g, they contain 62g of carbohydrate, 6.9g of protein, 1g of fat and 56mg of iron.

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. Drying concentrates nutrients by removing water, so these figures should not be compared directly with the same weight of fresh or rehydrated mushrooms. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
