Green goose

Description

The green goose has a characteristic olive-green cap with a smooth surface, a fleshy, elastic texture, and a mild, slightly nutty flavor with a subtle spicy note. Its appearance catches the eye on the plate, and after heat treatment, it develops a deeper aroma and delicate tenderness. It is a low-calorie addition to the diet, providing plant protein, fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and selenium, as well as antioxidants that support the immune system. However, moderation is advised: literature describes rare cases of adverse effects from excessive daily consumption, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation. It is typically used sautéed with butter and garlic, in soups, risottos, scrambled eggs, and sauces, and pairs well with pasta, meat, and game. Fresh goose mushrooms should be stored in the refrigerator in a paper bag for up to 2–3 days, without soaking them before storage; they can also be lightly sautéed and frozen or dried for longer preservation.
