Origin, Cultivation and Use of the Enoki Mushroom
Because it is frost-resistant and thrives in cool regions in winter, it is also known as a winter mushroom and snow mushroom. In Japan, it is also known as Enokitake. In the wild, the Enoki has yellowish to reddish-brown caps up to ten centimeters in diameter. The velvet shank is native to cool and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, where it primarily grows wild on deadwood, but also on living deciduous trees, mainly in winter. Especially in China and Japan, the use of Enoki has a long tradition: not only as a vital mushroom, but especially as an edible mushroom, it was already cultivated in China in the 9th century, for example. But it is also gaining increasing use in Europe, though here (still) predominantly as a vital mushroom. In Asia, the Enoki has been known for its beneficial qualities for centuries!
How do Enoki mushrooms taste?
As an edible mushroom, Enoki with its mild, sweet taste is indispensable in Asian cuisine. There, it is often eaten raw in salads – due to its sprout-like consistency, it is a real delicacy uncooked.
Enoki in the Kitchen
Due to the delicate growth of commercially available Enoki mushrooms, they are also ideal for preparing healthy quick meals: Enoki only needs to be cooked or fried for one minute.
Ingredients of the Enoki Mushroom
The importance of the velvet shank as a vital mushroom has been steadily increasing in Europe for several years. In addition to its high content of mushroom-typical polysaccharides, its content of various B vitamins and a small amount of vitamin C, it is mainly the subject of scientific research because it contains the two characteristic protein compounds flammin and velin.
