More information

Mushrooms have great importance in cooking for their intense aroma and valued flavor.

They enhance dishes thanks to umami, that is, the fifth taste. This taste is due to glutamic acid, induces greater salivation, and provides a meaty flavor that lasts longer than other tastes such as sweet, sour, bitter, or salty.

In addition to their unique flavor, bulk cultivation mushrooms have numerous health benefits. They have the ability to purify and detoxify the body, delay aging, are high in quality protein, low in fat, and rich in fiber. They are key against heart diseases, provide vitamins such as vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, and minerals such as iron, phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, selenium, potassium, and zinc.

Mushrooms are very versatile in cooking and are used in thousands of recipes such as pasta, rice, pizzas, creams, sauces, as a filling in cannelloni or croquettes, soups, side dishes, or simply sautéed.

Cleaning

It is very important to clean mushrooms before consuming them, but doing so with water causes them to lose a large part of their flavor. The best way to clean mushrooms, champignons, and all types of mushrooms is to remove all traces of dirt with a small knife, a cloth, and/or a small brush.
