Food Agency’s report: Early mushrooms remain a poison despite the treatment
Mushrooms|Even after the cooking recommendation, less than one fifth of the original toxic concentration remains in the ear mushroom.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
According to the Food Agency’s report, the ear fungus remains a poison despite the treatment.
Cooking twice is the most effective way to reduce poison, but still remains about 18 %.
Ear mushrooms are not recommended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding mothers at all.
In Finland, about three million ear mushroom meals are eaten in Finland in a good ear sponge year.
Food agency a new report According to no treatment, no poison is completely removed from the ear fungi.
Due to toxic residues, the ear sponge is no longer one of the recommended food fungi.
Eating ear fungi is not recommended for children and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers at all.
The toxicity of ear fungi is based on gyromitrin and its decomposition products. At its most serious, gyromitrin can cause neurological symptoms, liver damage and even death.
Food agency In the studies of the risk assessment unit, Finnish gyromitrin exposure explored the overall balance of the ear mushroom, the most common ear sponge recipes and the concentrations of research literature.
The harmful effects of gyromitrin have been studied in animal studies, which are difficult to generalize to humans. In addition, toxicity has been studied only through breathing air, which is different from that it is absorbed from digestive tract.
The unit also investigated the most effective treatment of ear mushrooms to minimize toxicity: the winner was revealed to be a traditional twice cooking. Still, an average of 18 % of the original toxic content was left to poison. The worst treatment was the drying of fungi, where up to half of the poison was at worst.
The treatment instructions for ear fungi remain unchanged.
On the report Despite the Food Agency, the Food Agency has not been able to provide the sponge recommendations.
The reason is the incomplete information and the conflict of research evidence.
Finland has a long tradition of ear fungus and the fungus is consumed relatively much. According to the Food Agency’s estimates, Finns eat up to about three million ear mushroom meals during a good ear sponge year.
In recent decades, there have been no deaths due to earnicide poisoning in Finland and serious poisoning is also rare.
However, according to calls that have come to the Poison Information Center, there are several milder poisoning cases in Finland each year. Symptoms of mild poisoning are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
The Food Agency’s Handling Guide to Reduce Early Funny Toxicity:
-
Boil the ear fungi twice in plenty of water (1 part of mushrooms and 3 parts water). The cooking time is at least five minutes.
-
Rinse the cooked mushrooms well after both soups in plenty of water.
Ear mushrooms can be stored by drying them. Handling of dried ear mushrooms:
-
Soak dried ear mushrooms for at least two hours before use (100g of mushrooms and 2 l water).
-
Boil the ear fungi twice after soaking, such as fresh ear fungi.
Ventilate well when you dry or cook your ear fungi. Do not use ears soaking and cooking water in cooking.
