Here's how to eat black fungus, the blood vessel scavenger.

Many people suffer from constipation. In this issue, we recommend a food pair that can relieve constipation—black fungus and cabbage. Here's how to eat black fungus, the "blood vessel scavenger."

Stir-fried Black Fungus and Cabbage

Black fungus is not only the well-known "blood vessel scavenger" but also an "intestinal scavenger." Its rich dietary fiber promotes gastrointestinal motility. Cabbage has the effects of nourishing the stomach, promoting fluid production, relieving vexation and thirst, and promoting urination and bowel movements. Therefore, the two not only create a striking black and white contrast in color, but their textures and flavors complement each other, and their laxative effects are mutually reinforcing. The method for making black fungus and cabbage soup is very simple: soak the black fungus in water, cut the cabbage leaves into sections, put them in a pot with seasonings, and cook until done.
