Dried Porcini Mushrooms – Wild Grade A

Description

What are Porcini Mushrooms?

Porcini mushrooms are one of the most popular wild mushrooms in the world. And by “wild,” we mean “not farmed or grown.” They have not been cultivated up to this point. They grow wild in many regions of the world and thus have many distinct names. The French call it Cepes. | Buy Dried Porcini Mushrooms, grade A Online in Portland, USA

One of the major distinguishing features of porcini mushrooms are the undercaps which have tube shaped spores that run perpendicular to the ground

Why are Porcini so Popular?

Partly because they grow in many different places of the world and hence contribute to a wide range of culinary traditions. Partially due of their particular umami power. They are not simply a texture-adding mushroom; they are carriers of intense flavors that complement a wide range of foods. Porcini, when properly dried, can last for years and have long been a pantry staple. Few mushrooms generate such an amazing, black soaking liquid that is similar to broth so effortlessly. | Buy Dried Porcini Mushrooms, grade A in Oregon

What do Porcini Mushrooms Look Like?

They have the traditional shape of a mushroom doodle. The word on the street is that if you’re looking for a good time, here is the place to be. They feature a dome-shaped crown that flattens and expands with age. The word on the street is that if you haven’t already, you should. They are extremely white and solid when young. They increase color (browns, tans, and yellows) and lose density as they expand. It is not a good indicator if it is soft, spongey, or hollow. When encountered in moist climates (or even dry climates after a big rain), the caps may sparkle and may feel sticky. The flesh (underside of the cap) begins hard as well, but as it matures, it is obvious that the pores are simply a series of tightly packed tubes. The stem grows from short and thick to long and slim or thick and club-shaped. The color of the stem does not emerge as brightly as the color of the cap. | Buy Dried Porcini Mushrooms, grade A Online in USA

Are Porcini Good for You?

Certainly. Porcini mushrooms are abundant in protein and fiber, but low in carbohydrates and sugars. They include a lot of amino acids, vitamins B1, B2, C, and D, as well as selenium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. Keep in mind that the vitamin/mineral content of porcini will vary depending on the soil they grow in, and because they are not farmed, they are likely to come from rich ‘wild’ soil. They are high in beta-glucans, which support cardiovascular health and immune system function. Populations that consume big amounts of porcini have been connected with lower cancer rates. | 

Where Can You Buy Porcini Mushrooms?

Fresh porcini are incredibly difficult to find in supermarkets. The reason for this is that they spoil quickly, and worms are nearly always a problem. In season, look for them at your local farmer’s market and buy them. Most Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, German delis will stock dried porcini year round. Try stores that cater to foodies or provide cooking instruction. The price range is wide, and it generally indicates the quality, cleanliness, or provenance. Much of the dried porcini on the market comes from China and Pakistan, with Eastern Europe also being a major exporter. Cheap as dirt usually means full of dirt, sand, or worse, the majority of which can be removed with proper soaking and straining, or you can pay more for really clean stuff.
