Frozen mushrooms: benefits and harms
We can talk about the benefits of frozen foods for quite a long time. Considering the beneficial effects of cold on the product, we can safely say that the maximum amount of nutrients is retained in vegetables and fruits practically unchanged. Frozen mushrooms contain the maximum amount of vegetable protein, carbohydrates and fiber, and therefore are an excellent source of energy. Regular consumption of mushrooms allows you to lead a healthy lifestyle and make your diet balanced. But it is also important that mushroom consumption is contraindicated for people with gastrointestinal problems. Children under 7 years old should also not be offered mushrooms. And, of course, it is worth remembering that products frozen for more than six months begin to lose their properties due to ice crystals, which destroy them.
Types of mushrooms suitable for freezing and how to prepare them
As a rule, those types of mushrooms that you collected yourself in summer and autumn are suitable for freezing. Most often these are porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, champignons and boletus. But if you are well versed in other types of mushrooms, then you can easily freeze them too. Only fresh mushrooms collected on the day of freezing or at most the day before are suitable for freezing. It is desirable that the mushrooms are whole, strong and not rotten. Then, even after defrosting, the mushrooms will delight you with their appearance and taste. Before freezing, mushrooms must be carefully sorted and separated from leaves, grass and soil. If desired, the mushrooms can be rinsed under running water, but in this case you will have to dry them on a towel or napkin before freezing. It is recommended to remove the skin from the butter. If you want, you can lightly boil the mushrooms in plain water for five minutes before freezing. After this, the mushrooms need to be thrown into a colander, allowed to dry and cool. Or you can dry the mushrooms in the oven for 5-10 minutes before freezing. After which they also need to be cooled. You need to freeze mushrooms in such portions that once you defrost one, you can completely use it to prepare one dish. Mushrooms should be frozen by placing them separately from each other on a plate or any other flat container. An hour later, the frozen mushrooms can be poured into one bag or container. Frozen mushrooms can be stored at a temperature of -18 degrees for no more than a year. Ideally, six months. In order to properly defrost mushrooms, they must be transferred to the refrigerator from the freezer and allowed to defrost naturally. After defrosting, mushrooms should be used immediately. Thawed product cannot be stored in the refrigerator or re-frozen. Below we provide several recipes for a delicious and unusual mushroom soup made from frozen mushrooms.
