Black Fungus, Hawthorn & White Fungus Soup – A Traditional Nourishing Brew

Black Fungus, Hawthorn & White Fungus Soup – A Traditional Nourishing Brew

A light, traditional East Asian soup made by simmering black fungus, dried hawthorn, and white fungus (snow fungus) with a touch of cane sugar. Enjoyed as a comforting everyday food.

Ingredients (per serving):

• 10 g soaked black fungus (wood ear mushroom)
• 10 dried hawthorns
• 3 g white fungus (snow fungus / Tremella)
• 5 g cane sugar

Traditional preparation:
Soak the black fungus until soft, rinse well, then simmer together with the dried hawthorn, white fungus, and cane sugar in water for about 20 minutes. Enjoy the warm broth and eat the softened fungi.

What makes it special:

• Black fungus is a naturally low-calorie, fiber-rich edible mushroom, providing dietary fiber, plant polysaccharides, iron (a mineral involved in normal red blood cell formation), and vitamin K.
• White fungus (snow fungus) is valued for its naturally occurring plant colloids and polysaccharides, and is low in calories.
• Dried hawthorn contributes a naturally tart flavor along with vitamin C and plant compounds.
• Cane sugar adds light sweetness; adjust to taste.

A note on mindful enjoyment:

• Freshness & soaking: Do not soak fungus for extended periods at room temperature. Discard any fungus that looks slimy, discolored, or has an off odor—spoiled soaked fungus can produce harmful toxins. Use fresh, properly stored ingredients.
• Allergies: Mushroom/fungus allergies exist. If you are sensitive to mushrooms, avoid this product.
• Sugar: Contains cane sugar. Those monitoring blood sugar should enjoy in moderation.
• Medications: Black fungus and hawthorn may interact with blood-thinning or blood-pressure / blood-sugar medications. If you take such medicines (e.g., anticoagulants, antiplatelets, heart or diabetes medications), consult your healthcare provider before regular consumption.
• Moderation: Like other high-fiber foods, eating large amounts may cause bloating or loose stools.
