Are Raw Mushrooms OK To Eat?

Mushrooms displayWell, let’s find out…

Tough to digest

Mushrooms have very tough cell walls and are really difficult for us to digest.  The cell walls of plants on the other hand contain cellulose and are easily broken down.  When mushrooms are cooked, their walls are broken down making them more digestible. And also at the same time a lot of nutrition which is contained in the mushroom cell walls, is released.

Porcini and chanterelles are actually considered stomach irritants when eaten raw.

Many mushrooms, even those considered edible, contain irritating or toxic components, generally considered carcinogenic. These are usually eliminated or destroyed when cooking. Both broiling and grilling are good. Cooking also includes marinating like with lemon juice or pickling them.

But in some species, including the common buttons a lot of the toxic components can still remain (25-75%).
So the question is more – whether to eat them at all?

Deadly toxins

Even if cooking could destroy many toxins and irritants in mushrooms, the deadly toxins are not affected by heat or any leaching processes. Cooking or not makes no difference with these poisonous toadstools.

Benefits

However there are many benefits from certain mushrooms like shiitake, maitake, oyster mushrooms and enoki. And according to Asian belief mushrooms are considered both medicine and food.

Certain mushrooms are used strictly for medicine, like reishi, Lions Mane, chaga etc.

And finally another benefit from mushrooms. If they have been exposed to sunlight, they contain Vitamin D. You can even increase the Vitamin D content if you leave dried mushrooms out in the sun.

Be safe

A safe consumption of any and all mushrooms is crucial. Eat them in moderation, even if cooked, no over indulgence.
Do you eat mushrooms?

ENERGIES!

We can all learn how to use the energy field around us. And we can learn how to tap into these energies to strengthen us physically, mentally and spiritually.

Furthermore, we find beneficial energies in fresh, ripe, newly harvested fruits and vegetables. Delicious foods made with these ingredients without any heating or additives, are the so called raw foods. Many benefits from a raw food diet could be the effects, direct or indirect, they can have on our sleep, our feelings and mood, and on our outlook on life. Along with many physical improvements as well.

From various plants, essential oils can be extracted, whether it is from the root, bark, stem, leaf or flower of the plant. These oils and their energies are highly beneficial and can provide amazing results on many levels. This applies only to oils of highest therapeutic grade.
