Robbie Sigona’s Produce Tips: Sliced Crimini Mushrooms

When purchasing Criminis, here is what you should look for:

• Fresh cut mushrooms should be white or light brown in the Crimini’s case. Older mushrooms turn dark.
• They should feel their weight: All mushrooms will lose a little moisture with time, but fresher mushrooms will weigh more.

Ideally, you consume the entire package of mushrooms in one sitting. However, if you need to store them:

• Make sure that they are kept in an airtight container as they will last a lot longer. If they are exposed to air, they will dehydrate quickly.
• Keep them cold.
