Some people find eating them wet a vile experience. Hell some people hate the taste dry. If you want to get them dry fast and easy the rest of the way, go to walmart, or home depot, and in the bathroom area there is a product called damp rid. Its a desiccant that helps reduce odors and such. the larger size jug of it comes with a black basket that sits inside, above the desiccant, and can still be sealed
It would dry my crop in a day or so from harvested wet to fully dry. If you do that, at least you will know how much you are consuming, if you care. If it was just 5, no big deal. If they dont smell funky,go for it. Even dried ones have a smell to them, its similar to the taste, but its usually mild.
Growing them was sooooo easy. My setup was under $100, fit in a 25 gal rubbermaid, and yielded an ounce and a half dry a week. But that was years ago.
