It is not true that Enoki mushrooms contain formaldehyde.

You may smell a pungent smell when opening the enoki mushroom packaging bag. This is not due to the addition of formaldehyde, but because the temperature changes during transportation, causing the enoki mushrooms to switch from aerobic respiration to During anaerobic respiration, some volatile aldehyde gases are produced.

my country's "Food Safety Law" and "Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Law" clearly stipulate that formaldehyde shall not be used as a food processing aid for production and operation. In other words, it is illegal to add formaldehyde to food in any way. Therefore, Enoki mushrooms themselves do not contain formaldehyde. Reasonable selection, fresh cooking and a balanced diet are important measures to ensure food safety and health.

Tips for purchasing enoki mushrooms

1. Appearance selection: Choose enoki mushrooms with a complete appearance and uniform color. Avoid choosing enoki mushrooms with obvious surface damage, deterioration or rot. Fresh enoki mushrooms should have a smooth exterior and be bright green or light yellow in color.

2. Texture judgment: Touch the texture of the enoki mushroom to judge its freshness. Fresh enoki mushrooms should have a firm, crisp and tender texture. If the enoki mushrooms feel limp or loose, it may be because they are past their best before date.

3. Smell: Smell the smell of enoki mushrooms. Fresh enoki mushrooms should have a light fungus aroma, but should not have a pungent or smelly smell. Choose enoki mushrooms that don't have an off-flavor, which indicates they're more likely to be fresh.
