WHITE MUSHROOMS

(Agaricus / Agaricus bisporus)

DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR:
White mushrooms vary in color from creamy white to light brown and in sizes from small (button) to jumbo. They are pleasingly mild and woodsy; their flavor intensifies when cooked. Freshly picked White mushrooms have closed veils (caps that fit closely to the stem) and delicate flavor; mature Whites, with open veils and darkened caps, develop a richer, deeper taste.

SHELF LIFE:
White mushrooms remain fresh 5-7 days. Keep refrigerated in paper bags.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• Use raw as an hors d'oeuvre, or garnish in salads and on vegetable trays.
• Sauté, braise or grill to enhance entrees, soups, sauces and stuffings.
• Marinate or saute and serve as a side dish.
• Stuff with just about anything for a classic, easy to eat appetizer.
