The fungus is not eaten, can not be eaten overnight.

If it is soaked for too long, the microorganisms in it will multiply, and the microorganisms are also prone to produce some toxic and harmful substances.

Because the fungus itself is dry, the microbes can't reproduce without water. But during the soaking process, the microorganisms have enough water, and the fungus itself is a nutrient-rich food, which is easy for the microorganisms to multiply. When the temperature is high, the microorganisms multiply faster.

The fungus can be soaked in cold water for 1-2 hours to achieve the best soaking state of the fungus, we do not need to pursue the taste, and deliberately extend the soaking time. When you have to soak for a longer time, then also try to put the fungus in some cool and dry place, it is best to put in the refrigerator, the temperature is low can effectively inhibit microbial reproduction.

Correct soaking fungus method

Black fungus soaking, it is best to choose to soak with 15-25 ℃ water temperature for about eight hours, the black fungus will be able to absorb enough water, back to the physical state of growth. The appropriate water temperature time can not soak too short or too long, time is too short, it did not absorb enough water, gelatinous tissue can not be restored, time is too long, the sub-substrate body composition and gelatinous material precipitation, tissue flaccidity, loss of nutrients, taste deterioration.

Summer hot days, fungus deterioration rate is very fast, when the soaking time of more than 8 hours, deterioration caused by bacteria will rise to dozens of times or even dozens of times, it is likely to generate toxins. After a soaking were placed in a plastic bag tightly tied bag mouth into the refrigerator freezer 4 ℃ temperature range preservation, eat as you go.
