RE: "What's for Lunch?" Healthy Recipe Series #6 - Roasted Tortellini & Spicy Lemon Brussels Sprouts
I simply meant to clean off the mushrooms, you may definitely brush them off instead! I am just used to rinsing all my fruits and vegetables so I automatically tossed them in the strainer without thinking about it haha!
I just wonder why so many recipes say to wash the mushrooms and hoped you might provide an answer in general.
I'm not sure. If I had to guess, I would assume it's because while brushing them off may get the dirt, washing will get germs from handling and transport, pesticides, etc. Really everything from a grocery store should be washed before eating and that's what many of the packages say
Thanks. Just wondering...
