 Welcome to the Purtis Made Simple Kitchen. I'm Fallin and today we're going to bust some big myths on mushrooms. A lot of people think that mushrooms are grown in poo and in a dirty environment but really they aren't. Recently I visited an Ontario mushroom farm and I was amazed to see how clean the environment was kept. We are so lucky in Ontario to be able to enjoy fresh mushrooms all year round. There are so many great varieties available. There are white button, Cremini, Portobello, Oyster, King Oyster and Inoki. Did you know that Cremini mushrooms are baby Portobello's? Why do I? It's because I think I'm saying it wrong. That's why. Did you know that Cremini mushrooms are actually baby Portobello's? They're just harvested before they're fully grown. Ever been told you shouldn't wash your mushrooms? Well that's a myth. If they're really dirty just quickly rinse them under cold water and pat dry. If you prefer something else just tap like tap on with a damp wipe. Wipe. Wipe. That's as I couldn't think of a word. Why is my brain right now? You can also gently wipe them with a damp cloth. All of the mushrooms you see here you can eat the stems of. Just cut off the end if it's dry. Check out PurtisMadeSimple.ca for some tasty Ontario mushroom recipes. We have barley risotto with mushrooms, Portobello and Walnut salad, homemade mushroom soup, and vegetarian mushroom cannoli. I think you'll also enjoy our simple sides like creamy twice cooked mushrooms and our mushroom sliders. Thank you so much for watching. Be sure to check out all our other fruit and vegetable videos. See ya. Many people think that mushrooms are grown in a dirty and poo-filled environment, but really they aren't. Recently, yeah that did not go poo-filled as soon as I left I was like hey don't stop maybe and then I looked over and I could see you laughing I was a gas stop.
