We all know that before cooking and eating vegetables and fruits, we must wash them thoroughly to avoid agricultural medicine. But people often ask online whether the "mushroom" needs to be washed?

Should I wash the "mushroom"?

Some people say that if the "mushroom type" needs to be washed, some people say that they don't need it. Some people are worried and always think they have to cook without washing. Is it really okay?

In this regard, the Agricultural Administration announced the answer: "Most of them can be washed without washing." The Agricultural Bureau explains that the edible fresh mushrooms currently cultivated in Taiwan, such as germ mushrooms, apricot mushrooms, erectus mushrooms, etc., are mostly grown aseptic space bags or bottles, and chemical drugs are not required to be used during the growth process. As long as the wood chips are removed, the roots are cut off, and the special cleaning is not required, you can directly heat the dishes.

But if you are mushrooms grown in a semi-open environment, such as mushrooms, fungus, etc., it is recommended to use "quick and simple washing with clean water" to remove the surface dust before cooking. At the same time, you should use "avoid soaking" as the principle, and cook as quickly as possible after washing to maintain the best flavor of mushrooms.

Can the water soaked with mushrooms be used as a soup?

Many people will soak the mushrooms in water to soften them before cooking them. The soaked mushroom water will still be used as a high-soil. Is this OK?

"Agriculture Knowledge Entrance Network" once proposed a statement about this problem. Before it is impossible to determine that the mushrooms you bought have no agricultural medicine problems, it is still recommended to wash them before eating. It is best to pour out the water after soaking mushrooms, because most agricultural medicines are water-soluble.

There are many types of "mushrooms" and are expensive and have similar nutritional prices

According to the information of the Agricultural Commission, mushrooms contain 13 amino acids, of which 8 are essential amino acids. The content of vitamin D2 in mushrooms is 20 times that of yellow beans and 8 times that of seaweed. It can nourish bones and prevent bone relaxation. Even dry mushrooms that have been dry over the years will transform into vitamin D and increase human absorption. Nutritionist Liu Yili once visited and pointed out that mushrooms are considered high in hotness because they have a higher protein content than vegetables. Mushrooms are water-soluble dietary fibers, with a small amount of sugar but will not be absorbed by the human body. They are suitable for those who lose weight to replenish their feet. For patients with three highs, they can stabilize blood sugar and blood lipids, help fatty liver patients take away fat.

However, there are thousands of edible mushrooms in the world. Nutritionist Xia Ziwen once visited and pointed out that the nutritional differences between different mushroom types are not big. Some expensive "ship-made mushrooms" such as truffles, bolete and Japanese matsutake mushrooms are actually just rare and the nutritional value is not much different from that of ordinary mushroom types.

Nutritionist Lin Shihang also suggested that the recommended way to eat is to eat multiple mushrooms together. One to two comprehensive mushrooms can be selected for a meal and mixed with one or two kinds of comprehensive mushrooms. The calculation basis is based on the need to take at least 300 grams of vegetables a day. You can choose to take mushrooms for about 100 grams a day.
