How to Clean Mushrooms

Author: Marinka
There are a lot of people who believe that we should not wash mushrooms and for the life of me, I don’t know where that comes from. I wash all our vegetables and fruits, so why would we not wash mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • mushrooms (NOTE 1)
  • water

Instructions

  • Cut the stems off the mushrooms.
  • Fill a bowl with water and transfer the mushrooms into the water. Use your hands and wash the dirt of the caps and shortened stems. Wash them as soon as they hit the water, don’t leave them in it.
  • Alternatively, turn on the tap and rinse a handful of mushrooms and repeat until all are done.
  • Take the mushrooms out of the water immediately and dry them on a kitchen towel.
  • Slice the mushrooms and dry them again.

Notes

  1. When to clean the mushrooms may be as important as how to clean you mushrooms. So, what’s the best timing: JUST BEFORE YOU NEED TO COOK THEM. This way, they do not absorb any water, they don’t become mushy and it won’t take a lot of time.
