Soma was found in the mountains of Hindu Kush and hence it's reference is limited in other Vedas. It is described as a leafless shrub. It is widely believed to be ephedra, which when put in boiling water infuses it with ephedrine. This leads to the heightened state of consciousness that the rishis wrote the Rg veda with.

In Bengali, mushrooms are known as 'Byanger Chhata', which literally means the umbrella of a frog. Most probably because mushrooms are often seen in the soggy time of monsoon which is also the mating season for the frogs. It is wonderful how languages shape the perception. Love your videos!

12:47 «Now let's get to cooking mushrooms. To master how to cook them, it's important to understand their structure. If you look at the cross-section of a mushroom, you will find a lot of gaps between cells that can absorb and hold any kind of fluid; so this is why it's best to not wash them for too long or they will absorb a lot of water and become soggy. This is also why it's better to heat them first in a dry pan for a little bit before adding a small amount of oil or butter. If you start with oil, then the mushroom will absorb all the oil and become greasy. Also, adding salt ahead will end up drying out the mushroom and they will become rubbery and chewy. So dry pan heat mushrooms, then add butter or oil, and then let them nicely brown; finally salt. That's it. You can then use them in your other dishes.» It should be noted that another school of thought exists that suggests almost the opposite approach: actually add water when you begin the cooking mushrooms. This ensures that when the structure of the mushrooms collapses, it does not do so while absorbing and then trapping fats. To get more details, search on KZfaq for a video, "Why You Can't Overcook Mushrooms and The Science Behind Them", from the America's Test Kitchen KZfaq channel.

Very useful information as always. One way of keeping mushrooms nice and juicy is to blanch them in boiling hot water and then dunk it in cold water. We used to get a lot of mushrooms in the coffee estates, specially in October from under the coffee bush. When we settled in Mangalore, we cooked one huge mushroom. All of us had to go to hospital in the middle of the night for an injection. Fortunately we recovered in a day. For quite sometime we did not eat mushrooms. Button mushrooms and oyster mushrooms are available here, but the other varieties like portobello and shiitake are not so common. I love to eat raw button mushrooms.

I love mushrooms. Thanks for this knowledge. Just wanted to clarify a point - insulin injections would be beneficial for type 1 diabetics. Type 2 diabetics ( most suffering in India) would have enough insulin in them causing insulin resistant and further aggravating the problem. Would love a video on how lifestyle choices are making most Indians insulin resistant and suffering from metabolic disfunction causing many chronic disease. Keep sharing the knowledge. 🙏
