Description of the type and rules for processing mushrooms
Delicious millers belong to the russula family and are edible mushrooms of the 1st category. Their name comes from the distinctive color of the surface. The flat head diameter is 15 cm. Its surface is depressed in the central part and has concentric grooves. The cylindrical leg is empty inside. If you break it, a reddish-orange milky juice appears.
The composition contains the following substances:
- Beta carotene.
- B vitamins in natural form.
- Vitamin C.
- Cellulose.
- Mineral magnesium salts.
Like other representatives of the milky genus, mushrooms can be subject to worminess. To prevent the appearance of parasites inside the cap and stem, the fruiting bodies must be properly collected and delivered home. Having cut off the leg, it is necessary to carefully examine it and break it. Instances with traces of worminess are discarded.
A small basket can be used as a storage container. Each layer is overlaid with cloth or paper, which will eliminate the appearance of damage.
Cleaning can be done both at home and in the forest. The main thing is not to postpone this procedure, since you can lose the entire harvested crop.
The processing specifics are as follows:
- First, you need to sort the mushrooms, discarding rotten specimens.
- Then it is worth removing plant debris, moss and adhering soil.
- Next, you need to cut off the solid elements of the legs.
- In conclusion, it remains to transfer the crop to a container with a sealed lid.
Storage rules
Ryzhiks do not have a long shelf life, therefore, 3-4 hours after harvesting, they begin to rot. When exposed to direct sunlight, the problem is exacerbated. If the crop is refrigerated, the shelf life will increase to 24 hours. But for this it is important to pre-treat the product without using liquid. Nutritional value is represented by those specimens that have strong and elastic pulp.
Gingerbreads are often used for preparing holiday or everyday meals. In addition to their beautiful appearance, they are characterized by a pleasant smell and delicate taste.
Fried mushrooms can be cooked without boiling. A 20 minute soak in a slightly salted liquid doesn't hurt, however. There are different ways of cooking fried mushrooms - in a pan, in a slow cooker, along with vegetables, with sour cream, in batter or dough. Each variant has its own advantages and distinctive taste. Frying lasts 20-25 minutes.
Stewed mushrooms have a mild taste. They are mixed with meat, vegetables, cereals and potatoes or boiled eggs.
