Blue Oyster mushrooms grow in layered clusters of fan-shaped caps that start out a striking blue-gray and soften to pale gray as they mature. They are tender, cook quickly and turn golden and crisp at the edges in a hot pan, which makes them one of the most versatile mushrooms in the kitchen.
Nutrition you can taste
Oyster mushrooms are naturally low in calories and fat and provide fiber, potassium and B vitamins, especially niacin. A 100 g (3.5 oz) serving of raw oyster mushrooms has about 33 calories and roughly 5 mg of niacin, about 31% of the Daily Value.*
Interesting compounds
Oyster mushrooms contain beta-glucans, a type of dietary fiber, and ergothioneine, an antioxidant found in mushrooms. Research on these compounds is ongoing, and we enjoy oyster mushrooms first and foremost as a delicious food.
How to Cook
Tear the clusters into bite-size pieces. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a little oil or butter, add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more until golden. Season with salt at the end. Great in pasta, risotto, soups, stir-fries, tacos and on toast.
Storage Tips
Store in a paper bag or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Don't seal them in plastic; they need airflow to stay dry and fresh. Brush off any debris instead of washing, and rinse only right before cooking. Always cook mushrooms before eating.
