Mache
Mache has been cultivated in France since the 17th century, and in France it is known as doucette. It is also known as "lamb's lettuce" because its leaves resemble the size and shape of a lamb's tongue.
Iceberg Lettuce
It is the only lettuce type that does not occur in red form as well as green. Iceberg is the given name to dozens of cultivars of lettuce, all of which are adapted to specific planting regions and time periods.
Grower
Enoki mushrooms are available year round.
The Enoki has several other names including enokitake, enokidake, furry foot, nametake, yuki-motase, golden needle, winter mushroom, snow puff mushroom, velvet foot and velvet stem mushroom. The cultivated form of the Enoki mushroom are different in appearance from the wild form. This is because the species is morphologically sensitive to light and carbon dioxide. In cultivation, the mushrooms remain pale right up until the spores mature. Because of this mushroom's delicate nature, Enoki are harvested in bouquets to protect their vulnerable structure.
Cultivated Enoki are recognized by their almost pure white color and their long stems and small unexpanded caps. Enoki mushrooms can grow to five inches in length. Their texture is crunchy and firm, with a mild flavor and somewhat acidic finish.
Enoki mushrooms are mild-flavored and complement clean, simply prepared ingredients. Enoki are often used in Asian preparation of soups, fresh salads and noodle dishes. Pair with somen or soba noodles, soy, ginger, lemongrass, fresh herbs, seafood or poultry.
The Chinese and Japanese have used the Enoki mushroom in medicine, claiming it prevents and cures certain liver diseases and stomach ulcers. An anti-cancer compound found in some of the wood-decomposing fungi has been found in the Enoki.
Enokis are both cultivated and found growing in the wild. The Enoki grows in clusters on hardwoods, preferring aspen, elm and willow trees. Wild Enokis are significantly different in appearance from the cultivated form as they are much larger and their coloring is earthen orange.
