Tricholoma is delicious and full, which is very delicious whether fried, roasted or stewed, and has high nutritional value. Tricholoma contains a lot of protein, vitamins and trace elements, and the fat content is only 4%, so it is a healthy food for dieters.
The origin of the name Tricholoma can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. There are nine kinds of dishes with Tricholoma as ingredients in the ancient cooking book "A New Record of Feast and Fragrance". Tricholoma is produced in Inner Mongolia grassland and Bashang grassland near Zhangjiakou. After picking, it needs to be sent to all parts of the country through transportation hub and grassland commodity distribution center Zhangjiakou. So the word "kou" in Tricholoma comes from the place name of Zhangjiakou.
The mushroom planting and processing industry in Zhangjiakou rose in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and is still developing vigorously. Small mushrooms have become a "magic weapon to get rich" for the revitalization of local villages. The authentic Tricholoma is a wild white mushroom growing on cow dung and sheep dung, so the output is relatively small, even if it is expensive, it can't meet the market demand at all.
However, some products marked as "Tricholoma" on the market are actually Agaricus bisporus imported from Europe and America, usually cultivated artificially. When buying Tricholoma, it is best to choose light yellow, small in shape, light in weight and thick in meat, not too white.
