Dr. Wang Shengqiang
The nutritional value of black fungus (Auricularia auricula-judae) encompasses multiple aspects. First, black fungus is rich in dietary fiber, which promotes intestinal motility and aids in relieving constipation. Additionally, it contains relatively high levels of iron and calcium, supporting iron and calcium supplementation and helping to prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Therefore, incorporating an appropriate amount of black fungus into the regular diet can contribute to overall health.
