Velvet Shank Enoki Liquid Culture – Flammulina velutipes

Velvet shank Enoki, commonly known as Enoki or Enokitake, is a type of edible mushroom that is native to Asia, but is now widely cultivated and consumed in many parts of the world. It is a small, delicate mushroom with a long, thin stem and a small cap that is often used in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine.

Enoki mushrooms have a mild, slightly fruity flavor and a crisp, crunchy texture. They are often used in soups, stir-fries, and salads, as well as in sushi and other Japanese dishes. Enoki mushrooms are low in calories and high in nutrients, including vitamins B and D, fiber, and antioxidants.

Enoki mushrooms are also believed to have a range of potential health benefits. They have been studied for their immune-boosting properties and anti-cancer effects. They are also thought to have anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects.

Enoki mushrooms are typically sold fresh in clusters or in packages, but are also available canned or dried. They are easy to prepare and can be added to a wide variety of dishes for a flavorful and nutritious boost. ©
