There is a chance of chometz or kitniyos being in it because they use straw. Our rav says the preferred thing if you do use the mushrooms is to use canned since the manufacturers have stronger cleaning processes. If you use the fresh ones he said to soak them and then scrub them in the sink and then wash the sink well, but only before yom tov. <BR/><BR/>My experience is that if you do use the fresh and wash before yom tov then cook them right away or they get sort of slimey if they are stored raw in the frige.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-65304985317078140762008-03-30T14:11:00.000-04:002008-03-30T14:11:00.000-04:00A while back we asked a rab about the mushrooms an...A while back we asked a rab about the mushrooms and he said not to use them.
