Button Mushrooms


Selection Information


Usage: Eating fresh, cooking, in salads and stir-frys.

Selection: Good-quality button mushrooms are dry, have smooth, firm caps and are completely closed at the gills (the area where the stem joins the mushroom). While bright white mushrooms may look better in your recipe, they do not mean the mushrooms taste better than those that are darker-colored.

To store mushrooms, keep them unwashed, dry, cool and dark. Store them in a brown paper bag, or in a Tupperware type container in the refrigerator.

Avoid: Avoid button mushrooms that are wet, brown (other varieties should be brown), bruised, or open at the gills.
