PORTABELLA

(Portobello / Agaricus bisporus)

DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR:
Impressive in size and appearance, the Portabella mushroom is a larger, hardier relative of the White and Crimini and can range up to 6 inches in diameter. Portabellas have a longer growing cycle than Whites and Criminis resulting 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.
