What do poor quality frozen mushrooms look like: advice for young housewives
If you buy frozen mushrooms in bulk, rather than packaged, you can easily identify low-quality ones while they are still on the shelf.
With these simple tips, you will no longer have to buy a pig in a poke.
If mushrooms are sold in bulk
Most often, housewives buy frozen champignons. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the slices do not have signs of repeated freezing. The fact is that if the product was frozen a second time, it was probably stored in violation of the established requirements.
Usually, on frozen mushrooms you can find an impressive layer of frost or ice.
Also, do not buy mushrooms that are stuck together in a heap. Slices of freshly frozen mushrooms should be stored loose, separately.
It would be a good idea to pay attention to the color of the mushrooms. The darker the slices, the less likely they were fresh before freezing.
And cooking food from stale mushrooms is more expensive for you. The same applies to overgrown mushrooms, damaged by insects, and so on.
In this case, there is a high risk of getting food poisoning.
