Mushroom - Crimini (LOCAL)

Like other mushrooms, crimini (baby bella) mushrooms are a type of fungus. Shaped like regular white button mushrooms, they are darker and drier and offer a deliciously earthy flavor and meaty texture. When criminis grow to full size, they’re called portobellos.

How to Use

• Because of their low moisture content, crimini mushrooms are great for sautéing.
• It’s okay to rinse criminis before cooking; just don’t soak them in water. Or, if you prefer, simply wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.

How to Store

• Keep crimini mushrooms unwashed in a paper bag in the fridge; avoid wrapping in plastic.
