If you enjoy the umami taste of gourmet mushrooms, then you must try pioppino mushrooms.
Pioppino mushrooms (Agrocybe aegerita) are delicious edible and medicinal mushrooms that grow in large clusters on decaying hardwood trees, especially poplars.
Pioppino mushrooms have a lot to offer as they’re nutrient-rich with loads of earthy, nutty flavor, a firm, crunchy texture and several health benefits.
Pioppino mushrooms have an earthy, nutty flavor that’s slightly sweet with some peppery notes.
Their smell is subtly floral, and their texture is firm and crunchy, often described as crispy.
Some people think their stem texture is similar to asparagus when cooked.
Like most mushroom species, pioppino mushrooms are rich in nutrients and medicinal compounds, they’re a good source of protein, low in fat and calories, contain all the essential amino acids humans need and lots of beneficial vitamins and minerals like selenium and potassium.
On top of all these goodness, they contain several polysaccharides with antioxidant, antiaging, and organ protecting effects.
Mother Nature is truly Magical…
