Cleaning mushrooms requires a little finesse. We’ll tell you how you can get rid of the dirt particles on the popular mushrooms and what you should look out for when buying them.
Clean mushrooms carefully!
Mushrooms are an all-round ingredient. For example, they can be used to conjure up delicious mushroom pans and soups. But bought or collected mushrooms sometimes show slight soiling and soil residue. That’s why you should clean your mushrooms before you use them in the kitchen. You should keep these tips in mind:
Mushrooms are very delicate mushrooms. Store-bought mushrooms are not always dirty. So it is enough to clean them with a brush or cloth.
Do the following:
Hold the mushrooms by their stems so you can gently brush the dirt off the head from top to bottom.
Then use a brush to remove coarse dirt from the underside of the head and the handle itself. Tip: If the dirt cannot be removed, you can sprinkle the brush with a few drops of water.
At the end you can rub the fungus again with a cloth. This is how you clean the mushroom from finer dirt residues or dry it.
