It grows in pine woods and its cap surface is slimy, so the skin is peeled before cooking. In Eastern Europe it is preserved by drying and pickling.

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.
