How to choose Matsutake

1. Check the origin

Matsutake is produced in many areas of China, but the quality of Matsutake in different regions varies greatly, and the price can differ by dozens of times. Currently, the excellent Chinese matsutake mushrooms recognized by the international market mainly come from Shangri-La. The Shangri-La Matsutake producing areas include the Diqing Matsutake producing areas, part of the Tibet Matsutake producing areas and the Ganzi Prefecture Matsutake producing areas in Sichuan. The annual output accounts for about 70% of the national total output. Due to the suitable natural environment, the Matsutake there is of the best quality, with firm and elastic flesh, full of fragrance, and light yellow or off-white color. Almost all of the Matsutake output is exported every year, which is rarely seen in China. When consumers buy matsutake mushrooms, they can determine the origin by pressing with their fingers, smelling the odor, looking at the color, etc. If they are unable to determine the origin of the matsutake mushrooms, they must ask the merchant to provide a national certification document of origin, so as to ensure that they can buy authentic matsutake mushrooms.

2. Look at the color

If the Matsutake mushrooms turn yellow or are too yellow, they are likely to be spoiled or have sulfites added to them. Eating such Matsutake mushrooms is harmful to the human body.

3. Smell

Good quality Matsutake mushrooms have a unique aroma, while those without aroma are relatively inferior, and those without aroma at all cannot be eaten.

4. Look at the appearance

The matsutake mushrooms grown in double-leaf forests are strong and powerful. If they are very deformed or thin, they are generally single-leaf forest matsutake mushrooms, which have relatively poor nutrition. Of course, since Matsutake mushrooms grow completely naturally, it is normal for them to have different shapes.

5. Observe the moisture content

Matsutake mushrooms with a lot of water are soaked in water. During the preservation process, the water will damage the active nutrients and fiber of the matsutake mushrooms.

6. Taste

Good matsutake mushrooms taste chewy and have a light sweet flavor. If they taste sour or too soft, it means that there was a problem with the preparation or that they have gone bad.

7. Jianrongling

When Matsutake mushrooms grow for more than 48 hours, cracks will begin to appear on the cap, and then they will bloom and shed their caps. These Matsutake mushrooms are old and have little nutritional value.

8. Specifications

The bigger the matsutake, the more nutritious it is. Because how big Matsutake can grow in a certain period of time is determined by the amount of nutrients in the soil and the quality of the mycelium. Therefore, the larger the matsutake mushroom is, the more nutritional it is. In addition, since the efficacy of Matsutake is related to the amount consumed, the larger the Matsutake, the faster the efficacy will take effect and the better the effect will be.
