Because of its flavour, scent, and physical makeup, the fungus fruit body known as the button mushroom is regarded as a delectable meal all over the world. It is a great source of folic acid, low in calories, high in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It is an alternative option for those who are trying to lose weight and anaemic folks. It contains 4.9% more protein than cow’s milk, green vegetables like beans, etc.
Due to their high moisture content (90.92%), button mushrooms are a highly perishable commodity and should be sold and consumed as soon as possible after harvest. Processing, however, can extend its shelf life for a longer time.
Mushrooms are used extensively in cooking, in many cuisines (notably in Chinese, Korean, European, and Japanese regions) since antiquity. But since they usually don’t last for long, they need to be either marinated, dehydrated or canned. Shimla Hills offers premium range of canned products like button mushrooms.
