Did you know?

An odd-looking mushroom made of long white spines hanging downward instead of a cap; cooked, its fibrous texture recalls crab meat. In the wild it grows in wounds on old beech and oak trunks, and its cultivation spread from East Asia.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
