Pre-clean Your Morel Mushrooms In The Forest! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morels grow on the ground, and the ground is made up of dirt and other messy things like leaves and insects. So there is no question of putting a morel still full of sand or dirt in your basket! Indeed, the dirt will mix in your basket and make cleaning your morels very complicated once you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you pick your morels correctly to avoid dirt? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grasp the morel by the cap and carefully cut the base of the stem. Once your morel is removed, be sure to remove the dirt on it. Use a small brush if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following these tips will remove more than 50% of dirt in seconds and with minimal effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use our Morel Mushroom Maps<\/a> to find the most favorable areas for morels, you will come back often with baskets full of morels and therefore lot of work at home! Make the most of cleaning in the forest, you will save time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish Cleaning Your Morels At Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The morel has complex geometries with hard-to-reach areas. So to properly clean it, here are the important steps to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Brush the whole morel: the cap and the stem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Blow into the cavities of the cap to extract the dirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Cut your morel lengthwise for easy access. This will allow you to remove any dirt or insects inside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. To refine your cleaning, we strongly recommend that you invest in a small kitchen brush or ideally in a bulb blower!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Good! Your morel is clean thanks to a little elbow grease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
