📚 More about the product

What are black mushrooms?
Black mushrooms, also known as mu-err mushrooms, are a traditional ingredient in Asian cuisine. They are characterized by their dark color and slightly cartilaginous consistency. They absorb flavors very well and are therefore an excellent addition to many Asian dishes.

Why are dried Mu Err mushrooms so popular?
Dried mushrooms have a long shelf life and are easy to keep in stock. After soaking, they acquire a pleasant texture that is ideal for soups, wok dishes and salads.

Types of use in the kitchen
Whether as an ingredient in classic soups such as Peking soup, in hearty stir-fries or as an exotic ingredient in salads - Mu-Err mushrooms can be used in a variety of ways.
