Americans regard mushrooms as "God's food"; Japanese believe that mushrooms are at the "peak of plant food". Mushrooms are indispensable for tonic in winter. Mushroom is a delicious fungus, and there is a folk saying that "mushrooms are on the market and doctors have nothing to do". There are many Ru ingredients that we can easily buy in our life now. Do we know the difference in nutritional value of different Ru ingredients and how to cook to get the best taste of mushrooms?
Pleurotus ostreatus contains anti-tumor cell polysaccharide, which can improve the body's immunity. Taurine is a component of bile acid, which can dissolve cholesterol and digest and absorb lipids.

Flammulina velutipes has many aliases, such as smart mushroom and educational mushroom. Because of the high lysine content in Flammulina velutipes, it can strengthen the brain and promote children's intellectual development.

Mushrooms supplement calcium, and mushrooms are known as the "queen of fungi".

Whether mushroom food needs to be precooked before cooking depends on the variety. I have seen the largest edible fungus planting base in Beijing, and I know something about the production technology of mushrooms, but according to the processing characteristics of mushrooms, some varieties must be dehydrated! Mushrooms are mostly cultivated in greenhouses, and low-temperature mushrooms like Pleurotus eryngii are even cultivated on the walls of low-temperature warehouses. People with intensive phobia should be cautious. After fresh mushrooms are picked, they usually only need to be washed, but some mushrooms can't be eaten fresh, such as tremella and auricularia, or they may be poisoned. Then, if these fungus or tremella are exposed to the sun in the traditional way, if there are dirty things such as sandstorms, dust and bird droppings in the process, besides soaking and scrubbing, it is best to scald them with boiling water before cooking.
In order to make mushrooms taste better, you need to know cooking skills. For example, fresh mushrooms need to be fried first in the cooking process, so as to remove the odor and produce a strong aroma. However, in order to save energy, some chefs will directly fry mushrooms with hot oil to dehydrate them and produce rich fragrance, but the fat content will increase obviously and the vitamins and other nutrients in mushrooms will be lost.
