How long to soak white fungus

The white fungus we often talk about is not another variety of black fungus, but the common Tremella fuciformis, also known as snow fungus, which is also a fungal food. The white fungus we usually buy in supermarkets is dry, so it needs to be soaked before making it. Normally it will take three or four hours to soak, and it does not need to be soaked for too long, and it is not suitable to soak it overnight. Soaking for too long will not only cause the loss of nutrients, but also breed bacteria.

Tremella fuciformis, also known as white fungus, snow fungus, and tremella, belongs to the genus Tremella of the Tremellaceae family of the fungi. It is the fruiting body of the Tremella fuciformis fungus of the phylum Basidiomycetes and is known as the "king of fungi".

The fruiting body of Tremella fuciformis is pure white to milky white, 5 to 10 cm in diameter, soft, white, translucent and elastic.

Tremella is sweet, light, neutral and non-toxic. It not only has the effects of nourishing the spleen and appetizing, but also has the effects of invigorating qi, clearing the intestines, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It can not only enhance human immunity, but also enhance the tolerance of cancer patients to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Tremella is rich in natural plant gum and has the effect of nourishing yin. It is a good moisturizing food that can be taken for a long time.

Tremella soaked in clean water can be eaten overnight before being cooked, and it will not deteriorate. However, it is best not to eat cooked Tremella overnight, especially those Tremella dishes that contain added salt and sugar. It is even more inappropriate to eat them overnight. By then, the Tremella has lost a lot of nutrients and produced some ingredients that are not conducive to human health, which will be harmful to people's health after people eat them.

The time that Tremella fuciformis can be preserved after soaking has a lot to do with the preservation method. If the soaked Tremella fuciformis is directly put into the refrigerator, it can be preserved for two to three days without deteriorating, but when eaten again, it is particularly easy to break. If the moisture is removed from the soaked Tremella fuciformis and preserved in the sun, it can be preserved for a long time without deteriorating.

When you want to eat it, take it out, thaw it, and heat it up. The taste will not change significantly.
