Shimeji mushroom
Shimeji mushroom is a type of mushroom that grows in clusters in Japan. Its main characteristics include small and round mushroom caps, with long and firm stems. This variety retains its firmness and great taste when prepared using most cooking methods. The term 'Shimeji' is used to refer to a number of similar mushroom types, with White and Brown Shimeji mushrooms being among the most popular. All types of Shimeji have common characteristics including the distinctive cluster formation, firm and crunchy structure, and delicious umami flavor.
What makes Shimeji unique among all other mushrooms is the way the flavor changes under the effect of heat. Freshly picked Shimeji mushrooms do not taste good as their flavor tends to be slightly bitter. Once placed on a hot skillet, however, they turn out to become really tasty. The bitterness of Shimeji fades away, making room for an incredible savory and rich flavor that no other type of mushrooms can boast. Thus, Shimeji is among the rare ingredients that are worth cooking because its taste improves significantly during the process.
Shimeji Mushroom proves to be amongst the most beneficial exotic mushrooms for Indian home cooking enthusiasts looking to diversify their diet. The mushroom can be prepared easily, complements both Indian flavors and Asian sauces effortlessly, and infuses an authentic restaurant-grade flavor into whatever dish it is used in.
The Nuva Shimeji mushroom
For the Shimeji Mushroom offered by NUVA, all three steps of the ozone wash process apply, including UV exposure, RO water rinse, and ozone safe cleaning that ensures the mushroom is washed of all traces of surface dirt and growing media from its cluster. Due to the formation of the cluster in such a close fashion and the possibility of soil becoming trapped at the point where the stems are joined, special attention is needed when cleaning this mushroom.
The cleaning process will not include the use of chemicals or water submersion. The end result is a complete Shimeji Mushroom cluster that needs only the cutting off of the base to be ready for cooking.
