Why does butter darken when cooking?
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Despite the slimy film, which complicates the cleaning process, boletus is loved by gourmets and is considered one of the most delicious among mushrooms. Sometimes, after cooking oil, they acquire an uncharacteristic blue or violet color. You should not worry about this and rush to throw it away.
One of the reasons for blue discoloration is too long heat exposure. The fact is that vegetable protein is destroyed during prolonged cooking of butter oil, and this can lead to a slight bluish tint of the mushrooms.
Another - more common reason - among the collected boletus mushrooms, goats, they are also called kids. It is they who acquire a lilac hue during the cooking process. Edible and unusual, goats even become a decoration of the dish.
