Portabella Mushrooms

(Portobello)
(Agaricus bisporus)

DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR:

Impressive in size and appearance, the Portabella is a larger, hardier relative of the White and Crimini and can range up to 6 inches in diameter. A longer growing cycle than Whites and Criminis results in a deep, meat-like texture and flavor.

SHELF LIFE:

Portabellas should hold 7-10 days. Keep refrigerated in paper bags.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

* Serve whole or sliced, grilled, baked, or deep fried.
* Excellent stuffed as an appetizer, side dish or entree.
* Add to stir-frys, sautes and sauces.
* A great substitute for meat in a sandwich or entree.
* Use as a meat alternative in a vegetarian entree.
