Cooking shiitake: an essential step

Cooking shiitake: an essential step

Traditionally eaten cooked, raw consumption of shiitake has grown for several years.

Lentin, a substance in shiitake, can cause a skin reaction called toxic “flagellum” dermatitis.

This substance is destroyed during cooking.

As such, it is essential not to consume this mushroom without having previously cooked it to heart.

We remind you that this cooking step is generally necessary for all dry mushrooms.

How to rehydrate mushrooms?

How to rehydrate mushrooms?

To rehydrate dehydrated mushrooms, you need to:

  • – place the mushrooms in a dish
  • fill with lukewarm water (or milk for example for morels)
  • leave to soak for 10 to 20 minutes
  • rinse thoroughly before cooking

The first juice is to be kept to sprinkle your dishes during the end of cooking, taking care not to retain the bottom of the dish which could contain sand.
