Mushrooms are the natural gifts suitable for consumption. But, to use them in food without harm to health, it is necessary to store mushrooms correctly. Have to be processed or preserved by Svezhesorvannye as soon as possible, but how to be if processing delayed a little?
If long not to process mushrooms, gradually in them toxic substances begin to be saved. It is impossible to use them after that at all – they are capable to do to health irreparable harm. It is necessary to prepare mushrooms for processing so.
Spread out the mushrooms brought from the wood on a table and sort. Select the youngest from a small group and strong – they can remain some time fresh. Remove from them garbage, sand. Attentively examine mushrooms – if there are dark sites, damages, cut off them. Then wash out everything, drain, put in a bowl and cover with a clean napkin. In such look the mushrooms can just be stored in the fridge, without preserving, but no more than three days.
The young mushrooms processed thus can be frozen immediately – they will be stored several months in a state, suitable for food. It is better to store the frozen mushrooms in separate small packages, portions which you will be able to use entirely. It is impossible to defreeze mushrooms at all, and then to repeatedly place part of them in the freezer. Again frozen mushrooms can become the cause of food poisoning.
The mushrooms acquired in shop and hermetically packed can be stored up to one week, without opening a package. In the developed polyethylene under the influence of air they begin to grow mouldy. Buying mushrooms in vacuum packing, attentively study the period of storage which is put down on a package.
