Did you know?

A lilac-purple mushroom that appears among fallen leaves in late autumn and even after the first frosts. ⚠️ It must never be eaten raw and needs thorough cooking, and it must not be confused with purple-tinted poisonous webcaps (Cortinarius). Its scent is sweet, somewhere between flowers and citrus peel.

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.
