FRESH MUSHROOMS

 

Which is the best way to clean fresh mushrooms?

Remove any strange particle with a wet cloth or with a light brush; also they can be rinsed in a strainer and then dried with a paper towel. If you submerge them for a long time in water, mushrooms, like sponges, will absorb it.

How should I store my fresh mushrooms?

Refrigerate immediately in plastic bags or paper towels. Do not freeze. If the mushrooms are packed in baskets and you wish to give them more duration, the seran wrap that covers them should be changed for a paper towel or paper bag.



HOMEMADE CONSERVATION OF MUSHROOMS

Clean well

Boil water in a pot.

After the water is boiling, add the mushrooms, salt and lemon juice. The proportion is one tablespoon of salt and the juice of one lemon for each kilo of fresh mushrooms.

Let them boil for ten minutes.

Take the pot off the stove, drain the hot water, and cool the mushrooms with cold water from the tap.

Once they are cool and drained, put them in a plastic bag and freeze them, where they will be preserved indefinitely; or store them in the refrigerator in a glass container, with water, lemon and salt, for approximately 15 days.

If you want the mushrooms to be whiter, add more lemon when you cook them.
