Sarawakian Local Delights : Jungle Wood Ears




The jungles of Sarawak give forth lots of wood ears or kulat hitam. These soft fungi do not have any taste, flavour or smell but they are crunchy and healthy. They can be added to pumpkin soup, a stir fry with sweet young corn, paku and midin.

If found fresh and soft in the wild, they give food foragers a great deal of joy.

In recent years researchers have found that jungle wood ears help to reduce high blood pressure and lower uric acid in the blood.
