Stop Paying for Water:
The Truth About Canned Mushrooms

Ever grabbed a can of button mushrooms at the store and wondered why it felt so heavy for such a small serving? Here's the truth: you're paying for water - not just mushrooms.

Canned mushrooms, especially common white button varieties, are typically packed in water or brine. While this helps preserve them, it comes at a nutritional and culinary cost. Let's break it down:

🥫 What's Really in That Can?

• A standard 400g can of button mushrooms often contains only 180g–200g of actual mushrooms.
• That means nearly half of what you're paying for is just water.
• The soaking process can also leach out nutrients, especially water-soluble ones like B vitamins.

🌱 Fresh vs. Canned: Nutritional Comparison

🍄 Why Fresh Oyster Mushrooms Are Better

• Zero fillers. When you buy fresh mushrooms, you're getting only mushrooms - no mystery water weight.
• Superior flavor. Canned mushrooms taste dull because they've been pasteurized and soaked. Fresh mushrooms, especially oyster mushrooms, offer a deep umami taste that enhances any dish.
• Better for cooking. Fresh oyster mushrooms caramelize, grill, and sauté beautifully. Canned mushrooms? They just steam and soften.
