Which has higher nutritional value, dried mushrooms or fresh mushrooms? Nutrition experts tell us that the nutritional value of dried mushrooms is higher than that of fresh mushrooms, and the taste is more delicious. This is because fresh mushrooms contain 90% water. After sun-drying or sun-drying, the ribonucleic acid in them is easier to be released during cooking, and it is also easier to be hydrolyzed into guanylic acid, which is the main umami substance in shiitake mushrooms, and its freshness is about dozens of times that of ordinary monosodium glutamate. Therefore, the fragrance and umami of dried mushrooms far exceed that of fresh mushrooms. Putting the bought dried mushrooms in the sun can also promote the production of more vitamin D. Knowing the benefits of dried mushrooms, we will eat more dried mushrooms.
I don't know whether you bought dried mushrooms or dried them yourself. I did it myself anyway. The weather is dry in spring, which is the season for drying mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms in this season have less water and are relatively dry, which is most suitable for drying. As long as the method is proper, mushrooms with beautiful colors and no mildew can be dried quickly.
In addition to simplicity, there is another important reason that drying mushrooms by yourself is particularly economical. I calculated an account. At present, fresh shiitake mushrooms (3.5 yuan -4 yuan)/kg, 1 kg are weighed as 62g-68g dried shiitake mushrooms after drying, that is to say, drying shiitake mushrooms by yourself is equivalent to a kg of dried shiitake mushrooms, which is about 30 yuan, while buying a kg of dried shiitake mushrooms is equivalent to a dollar coin, at least 45-50 yuan kg. I bought a catty of mushrooms for 6 yuan recently. Because it is particularly dry, it is dry to 120g. I regret buying less.
Let's see how I did it.
When drying mushrooms, just cut off the handle blackheads of the fresh mushrooms you bought. Try not to cut off all the stalks, because the stalks of mushrooms have a stronger flavor.
You'd better pay attention to the weather forecast when drying mushrooms. You can dry mushrooms for two or three consecutive sunny days, even if it is not sunny for three or five days.
In the process of drying, the mushrooms should be turned over every day, from front to back, so as to ensure that the mushrooms are dried evenly, the bottom will not be black and moldy, and the drying utensils should be hollowed out and ventilated. Just use a bamboo basket like mine, which not only ventilates around, but also encloses them, so that the drying time will be short and the wind will not blow away.
Sun-dried mushrooms are placed in fresh-keeping bags or sealed bottles, and the taste is particularly strong for a week.
Dried mushrooms by yourself is not particularly simple and economical, so I think it is worth recommending to you. Do you still like it? Please come with me if you like.
