期4期, has a mild nature and is also called cloud ears because of its shape like clouds. The nutrients of fungus are very rich, especially . contains a lot of protein , vitamins, sugar, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other nutrients. In addition, the crisp taste of fungus is deeply loved by many friends.
Not only that, fungus is also called "the scavenger of the human body" by elderly friends, and is praised by smoking friends as "a little expert in clearing lungs", etc. In short, when it comes to eating fungus, it gives people a feeling of taking "a magic pill". In fact, Lao Yu thinks this is an exaggeration of the effect of black fungus! But it has to be said that the nutrients rich in fungus and the crisp taste are well known!
Although black fungus is good, many friends ask Lao Yu: Why do some of the black fungus you bought home do not taste that crispy, the black fungus itself is not elastic, and some even have a peculiar smell. In fact, this is buying inferior black fungus! So, today Lao Yu will share with you. When buying fungus, don’t even need the following four fungus. They have poor quality and low nutrition. It is recommended to understand!
The first type: black fungus with both sides of the front and back
Many friends think that fungus is black, so both sides are black, so they think that such fungus has the highest quality! On the contrary, the high-quality fungus has a curly black inside and a gray on the back, which is the color of the fungus itself.
If both sides are black on both sides, it means that this fungus has been sprayed with dye, and this fungus is not beneficial to eat, so don’t want it if it’s free!
The second type: the fungus that is not easy to break
As we all know, the more complete the fungus, the more expensive it is, and the more broken the fungus, the cheaper it is. The reason for this is that the fungus itself is dry and the fungus will break during storage, transportation, or even sales. Therefore, the more complete the fungus is preserved, the more expensive it is, and the more complete the fungus produced by the soaked fungus will be.
However, this also shows a problem, that is, high-quality fungus must be fragile. Therefore, when buying fungus, you might as well take a piece of fungus with your hands and fold it; if it breaks slightly, it means it is a high-quality fungus. If it is a fungus that is not easy to break, you can conclude that it is not a high-quality fungus!
The third type: the black fungus that are curled into rolls
The fungus will produce slight curls during the drying or drying process, but if it is curled into rolls, it cannot be needed! The fungus shrinks and rolls into a ball because the fungus is too dense during the drying or drying process, which leads to sticking together, or is subject to uneven heat, causing the fungus to shrink into roll!
Generally speaking, this kind of fungus that curled up into a ball when sun-made or drying is called fist ears! The quality of this kind of fungus is not high, so when choosing fungus, you should choose fungus that look like clouds, which are slightly rolled around like auspicious clouds. If it is curled into rolls, don’t want it no matter how cheap it is.
The fourth type: odorous fungus
Generally speaking, if you grab a handful of high-quality fungus and smell it, you will smell a fragrant smell; if it is an ordinary quality fungus, it is smellless or has a smell of wood chips; but if you smell a sulfur smell, or a sweet, sour, or even moldy smell, then such fungus is inferior, and it is not recommended to buy it!
So, when buying fungus, remember not to just look at the price. First, you should check whether the fungus in front of us meets what is mentioned above. If not, it is a high-quality fungus. If it meets any of the items, don’t buy such fungus!
10 minutes to soak the fungus
Finally, Lao Yu will share with you a method to quickly soak the fungus! As we all know, fungus is dry and you need to soak it before eating, but it is not enough to soak it for too long. For many friends who work and cook for a day, it is obviously not suitable to soak fungus slowly after returning home. Therefore, you might as well try this method of Lao Yu.
How to soak the fungus quickly: First, rinse the fungus with clean water several times. This step is mainly to remove the dust attached to the fungus; then pour the fungus into a wide-mouthed jar (don't throw away the jars that usually eat snacks), then pour 1 spoon of baking soda , two spoons of rice vinegar, then pour in an appropriate amount of warm water, tighten the jar, and shake it back and forth, so that the fungus will be soaked in a while. Generally speaking, it will be soaked in as low as 10 minutes!
And the fungus soaked in this method is cleaner, because during the shaking back and forth in the water, even if there is deep-adhesive dust or insect eggs, it will be washed away. So, friends who like to eat black fungus may try this method! Of course, if you have a better solution, you are also welcome to leave a message in the comment area for communication! I am greedy Lao Yu, thank you for watching, thank you!
