Unlike other mushrooms, enoki mushrooms are crunchy and have a mild taste, but also have a chewy feel. Stems are long and slender.

◆ Why is meat and food compatible? also help with weight loss

The dietary fiber of enoki mushrooms reduces neutral fat and cholesterol when eating meat such as beef and pork, making it a good food compatibility. The top itself is very low in calories and has a lot of fiber and water, so it helps you lose weight by giving you a feeling of fullness. When washing, cut off the yellowish bottom, put in a colander, and wash while tearing apart. Washing too many times can reduce the unique taste, aroma and nutritional content. It is better to wash it lightly in running water.

◆ How to purchase?… It is milky in color with few shades and I like the shape of the umbrella.

It is good to have a small shade, umbrella-shaped round, and neat stems. Choose ones that are milky white or cream in color and have not turned dark brown at the roots. The stem is not thin, the flesh is thick, and the moisture of the cap is low and it is good that there is no slipperiness. Wrap in newspaper and refrigerate. It’s good to eat it quickly because it’s easy to mold and spoil easily when it’s damp.
