Crimini Mushrooms

(Italian Brown)
(Agaricus bisporus)

DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR:

Similar in appearance to the Whites because it comes from the same family (Agaricus). Look for a naturally light tan to rich brown cap and a very firm texture. Deeper, denser, earthier flavor than White mushrooms.

SHELF LIFE:

Criminis should remain fresh for 5-7 days. Keep refrigerated in paper bags.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

* Substitute for, or use in combination with, any recipe calling for White mushrooms.
* Hearty, full-bodied taste makes an excellent addition to beef, wild game and vegetable dishes.
