Can You Eat Pleurotus Ostreatus Raw?
Although pleurotus ostreatus is rich in protein, polysaccharides, and 8 essential amino acids, from the perspective of food science, unprocessed fresh pleurotus ostreatus is not suitable for eating directly raw. This is because the cell wall of pleurotus ostreatus is composed of hard-to-digest chitin, which has a tough taste when eaten raw and is not easy to absorb nutrients. Moreover, fresh pleurotus ostreatus is susceptible to microbial contamination during picking and transportation, and there is a foodborne risk. In addition, some people may cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to mycoprotein after eating pleurotus ostreatus raw. Therefore, whether it is the production of dishes in chain catering companies or the development of ready-to-eat products in food processing plants, it is difficult for unprocessed fresh pleurotus ostreatus to meet the requirements of industrial production and food safety.
Regarding the limitations of pleurotus ostreatus eaten raw, salting processing can become an important process to optimize the edible value and commercial value. Through the principle of osmotic pressure, the salting process can not only inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of the finished product of salted pleurotus ostreatus, but also soften the fiber structure of pleurotus ostreatus and improve the taste of salted pleurotus ostreatus. Pleurotus ostreatus, which has been scientifically salted, has a crisp texture and mellow flavor. It can be used as a raw material for processed food and integrated into a diversified product system such as casual snacks. In short, salted pleurotus ostreatus has the advantages of strong adaptability and controllable processing costs, and is the preferred raw material for many food companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
The salted pleurotus ostreatus launched by our company can make the agricultural residues and heavy metal content of each batch of raw materials better than national standards through unified culture cultivation and standardized planting management at the raw material end. In the production process, we use an independently developed salting process, which can retain most of the nutrients of pleurotus ostreatus while maintaining a crisp and tender taste. The total number of colonies and nitrite content of the salted pleurotus ostreatus we produce are much lower than industry standards, which can provide safe and stable quality assurance for B-end customers.
For B-side buyers, choosing our salted pleurotus ostreatus is not only to choose a high-quality raw material, but also to choose a complete set of supply chain solutions. In terms of cost control, the large-scale production we adopt can provide you with a more competitive price than that of our peers.
