Edible Mushrooms

[Guest guest]

Edible mushrooms are used extensively in cooking, in many cuisines (notably

Chinese, European and Japanese). Though commonly thought to contain little

nutritional value, many varieties of mushrooms are high in fiber and protein,

and provide vitamins such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), biotin

(B7), cobalamins (B12) and ascorbic acid ©, as well as minerals, including

iron, selenium, potassium and phosphorus. Mushrooms have been gaining a higher

profile for containing antioxidants Ergothioneine and Selenium.

Many of the varieties of mushrooms that are sold in local supermarkets, have

been commercially grown on mushroom farms. These mushrooms are safe to eat

because they are grown in controlled, sterilized environments. Some of the

varieties that are grown commercially include: whites, crimini, portabello,

shiitake, oyster and enoki.

Anyone happen to know which of the mushrooms are safe to eat raw?

I've heard some are not and have even seen signs in the grocery

to not eat shiitake raw.

 

Thanks,
