Due to different regions, China has formed a distinctive food culture. The same food is salty in the north and sweet in the south, such as tofu brain.
there is a kind of food, and the controversy about it has never stopped, and that is mushrooms. Why fight? Dry and wet, of course.
Some people think that fresh wet mushrooms are the best, while others think that dried mushrooms are the freshest. What's the difference between wet mushrooms and dried mushrooms? Which is better? Today we will talk about mushrooms. I get it. Cooking tastes better. Those who like mushrooms don't miss it.
The difference between dried and wet shiitake mushrooms
1. Nutrition
No matter whether it is wet shiitake mushrooms or dry shiitake mushrooms, there is no difference in nutrition. They are all rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, with calcium of 124㎎, phosphorus of 415㎎ and iron of 26㎎ per 1 grams, which is the food with high calcium and high iron.
At the same time, the protein content of shiitake mushrooms is also very high, up to 2 grams per 1 grams, which is an excellent food to supplement protein.
ergosterol and bacteriosteroid will also be converted into vitamin d under the action of sunlight when wet shiitake mushrooms are transformed into dry shiitake mushrooms, which is beneficial to calcium absorption and can improve resistance.
2. Taste
At the same time, there are obvious differences between wet mushrooms and dried mushrooms, and dried mushrooms taste more fragrant, because when dried, mushrooms produce a lot of aromatic substances, such as guanylate.
this transformation also needs sunlight, so the guanylic acid salt of dried mushrooms is higher than that of wet mushrooms, so dried mushrooms smell more fragrant than wet mushrooms, and even the water soaked in mushrooms becomes very fragrant, so don't waste it when stewing meat.
3. Taste
However, the taste of dried mushrooms is slightly inferior. Fresh wet mushrooms are full and plump, fresh and delicious. Whether fried alone or stewed, the taste is fresh and juicy, which is more fragrant than eating meat.
Although the dried shiitake mushrooms are dried with wet shiitake mushrooms, they can be soaked in water, but no matter how they are soaked, they can't return to their original full appearance.
However, there is no need to worry about the taste of high-quality dried mushrooms. The meat quality is still very fat, with both the fat taste of fresh mushrooms and the rich fragrance of dried mushrooms, which is very delicious. At the same time, whether mushrooms are good or not depends on where they grow. It is good to have mushrooms in a good environment.
For example, mushrooms grown from basswood can still be full and plump even after drying, and they are no different from fresh mushrooms after soaking. The mushrooms in other places are worse. Now there are fewer and fewer basswood mushrooms, so it is getting harder and harder to meet!
Therefore, to some extent, dried mushrooms have higher nutritional value than fresh mushrooms and are more suitable for stews and soups. In autumn and winter, the weather is cold, so it is very good to stew some soup often, so you can prepare more high-quality dried mushrooms to make your stewed soup delicious. Wet mushrooms are still the most suitable for frying.
