Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi all, I understand there are some mushrooms that should not be eaten raw, only cooked. Does anyone know more about this? Which mushrooms are safe to eat raw and which must be cooked first? Thanks, -Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi Erin, I have read that *all* mushrooms should be eaten cooked, because of carcinogens that will work their poison in raw 'shrooms. I'm sorry to say I cannot recall where I read this, but I think it was even in something like Family Circle magazine...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 All of the nutrition books by Andrew Weil (my favorite health book author) say that raw mushrooms are not advised. like you said- because of toxins. i don't think a little is a big deal, but not good to make it part of your regular diet. melissa , <southernflower@g...> wrote: > > Hi Erin, > > I have read that *all* mushrooms should be eaten cooked, because of > carcinogens that will work their poison in raw 'shrooms.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I like them cooked too. Doesn't taste like the same thing when they are raw.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I agree, Sara. To me, they taste like dirt raw. UGH!
