Chanterelles can safely be considered one of the most beloved mushrooms, as they are incredibly aromatic and tasty.

However, the joy of tasting can be marred by the presence of an unpleasant bitter aftertaste.

As a rule, this is due to several mistakes on the part of the housewives.

What do they consist of?

Lack of proper pre-selection

If you collect mushrooms yourself or buy them at markets, then there is a high probability that conditionally edible products have also ended up among the edible chanterelles.

False chanterelles, as a rule, do not lead to tragic consequences, but they give a very unpleasant flavor to the entire dish.

No pre-treatment

Many housewives make one common mistake - they forget to soak chanterelles. These mushrooms have a "reputation" of a product that does not require much effort.

However, to reveal the taste and remove any possible bitterness, the mushrooms are left for several hours in water in which a little salt has been dissolved beforehand.
