Did you know?

An ear-shaped, gelatinous forest fungus that is nearly flavourless and valued in the kitchen for its crunch rather than its taste. Dried, it swells up to five times its size in water.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
