Mushrooms or wild mushrooms

Description

Mushrooms and wild mushrooms are characterized by a pleasant, earthy, umami flavor and a firm, meaty texture; mushrooms are usually white or cream with a smooth cap, while wild mushrooms come in various shapes and colors, often with a more intense aroma. They are low in calories, rich in plant protein, fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and selenium, as well as antioxidants and beta-glucans that support the immune system; some species provide vitamin D after exposure to UV light. In the kitchen, they work perfectly in frying, sauces, soups, risottos, omelets, casseroles, and as an addition to meats and vegetarian dishes, enhancing the flavor and texture of meals. Store them in the refrigerator in a breathable container (e.g., paper bag), do not wash before storing, and use within a few days; clean wild mushrooms gently and cook them quickly, and you can blanch and freeze or dry any excess.
