Because the nutritional elements of enoki mushrooms and mushrooms are basically the same, of course enoki mushrooms can be eaten together with mushrooms.
Enoki mushroom fruiting bodies are generally relatively small, most grow in bunches, and the flesh is soft and elastic; the cap is spherical or flat hemispherical, with a diameter of 1.5-7cm, and there is a thin layer of gelatin on the surface of the cap, which appears when wet. Sticky, white to yellowish-brown in color; the fungus flesh is white, thick in the center and thin at the edges; the gills are white or ivory, sparse, of varying lengths, separated or curved from the stipe; the stipe is medium, 3.5-15cm long, Diameter 0.3-1.5cm, white or light brown, hollow. Basidiospores are born on the solid layer of gills. The spores are oval or pear-shaped (5.5-8×3.5-4.2μm), colorless and smooth.
Due to the delicious taste, rich nutrition and special taste of Enoki mushrooms, many products have been developed using Enoki mushrooms as raw materials for a long time. The main categories are divided into fresh food and dishes, traditional and primary processed products, and high-tech products using bioengineering. Technical deep processing products.
Fresh food and dishes
As a health-care vegetable with both medicinal and food uses, enoki mushrooms are mostly used for fresh food. Squeeze the water out of the fresh enoki mushrooms, put them into a pot of boiling water and blanch them for a few minutes, then remove them. They can be eaten cold, stir-fried, stir-fried, stir-fried, roasted, stewed, boiled, steamed, or made into soups. They can also be used as ingredients for meat and vegetable dishes. . Enoki mushrooms can be made into dishes such as chicken breast mixed with golden needles, stir-fried shredded chicken with golden needles, enoki mushroom, bean sprouts and bamboo shoot soup.
Traditional and primary processed products
Primary foods processed with enoki mushrooms as raw materials include canned enoki mushrooms, enoki mushroom dew, low-sugar enoki mushroom preserved, enoki mushroom preserves, enoki mushroom oil, enoki mushroom jelly, etc. For example, the dried enoki mushrooms are fragrant and colorful, unmatched by other mushrooms; canned enoki mushrooms have crisp, tender and sticky stipes, and the soup is clear and light yellow, sticky and unique; enoki mushrooms are the most popular The raw material is fermented with domesticated acidophilic lactic acid bacteria to make a lactic acid fermented enoki mushroom beverage, which has certain health effects on increasing the intelligence of teenagers and increasing nutrition for the elderly.
Using bioengineering and other high-tech deep-processed products
The above two types of products, such as fresh food and dishes, traditional and primary processed products, have low added value. If bioengineering and other high-tech products are used to produce The development prospects of products with higher nutritional value and greater added value will be very broad.
It has the physiological properties of enhancing the body's immune function. Using the fermentation liquid of Enoki mushroom as raw material, it can be made into a health-care nutrient solution. Utilize a variety of essential amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides, vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients contained in the fermentation liquid and mycelium of Enoki velutipes to prepare nutritional beverages, oral liquids or nutritional food additives to make the nutritional components of the product more comprehensive and reasonable, and Unique flavor and texture. Deep processing and multi-level development are important ways to develop Enoki mushroom production. Using Enoki mushrooms as raw materials and using high-tech technologies such as bioengineering, capsules, tablets, injections, oral liquids, granules, etc. can also be produced. With the continuous deepening of molecular biology and medical research and the further development of polysaccharide extraction technology, the physiologically active substances of selenium-rich, iodine-rich, and zinc-rich Enoki mushroom mycelium can be used to develop special functional health care drugs to improve human immunity. function to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment.
