Meet the Golden Enoki: Your New Favorite Mushroom

We’re thrilled to introduce a fun new gourmet variety to the Fresh Shroomies lineup — Golden Enoki! These vibrant, delicate mushrooms are as eye-catching as they are tasty, and we think you’re going to love them.

What Are Golden Enoki Mushrooms?

Golden Enoki (Flammulina velutipes) are a variation of the common white enoki, but unlike their pale counterparts, they’re grown with exposure to light and fresh air — which gives them their signature golden color and stronger, richer flavor.

Golden Enokis grow in tight clusters of long, thin stems topped with tiny golden caps. They’re tender but slightly more robust than white enoki, with a mildly nutty, earthy flavor and a slight crunch when cooked.

Nutritional Benefits

Not only are Golden Enoki mushrooms delicious, they’re also packed with health benefits! Here’s why they deserve a spot on your plate:

• Rich in B Vitamins – Including niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin, which help support brain health and energy production.

• Immune-Boosting – Enokis contain polysaccharides that may help strengthen the immune system.

• Low in Calories, High in Fiber – A great choice for gut health and digestion while keeping meals light and satisfying.

• Antioxidants – Help fight free radicals and support overall cell health.

• Plant-Based Protein – A small but meaningful boost for plant-based diets.

Whether you’re looking for nutrition or just adding variety to your meals, Golden Enokis are a flavorful and functional choice!

How to Use Golden Enoki in the Kitchen

These mushrooms are incredibly versatile and perfect for:

• Soups & broths (especially ramen or miso!)

• Stir-fries

• Hot pot

• Noodle dishes

• Light sautés with garlic and sesame oil

• Fried

You can eat them raw, but we recommend a quick cook to bring out their best texture and flavor.

Pro Tip:

Before cooking, gently trim the base of the cluster and separate the stems. No need to wash unless dirty — a quick brush or wipe is usually enough!

Storage Tips:

Store your Golden Enoki in the fridge, ideally in the paper bag or box they came in. Avoid airtight containers — they need a bit of air circulation to stay fresh. Use within 5–8 days for the best quality.
