Crimini Mushrooms
Varieties

Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Crimini mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked, and can be substituted for white mushrooms in any recipe. Immediately before using fresh crimini mushrooms, clean them gently with a brush or cloth towel, and remove the base of the stem. When serving crimini mushrooms raw, sprinkle them with lemon juice or vinegar to prevent them from turning brown.
Storing
Crimini mushrooms will stay fresh for up to seven days when stored in the refrigerator in a paper bag; avoid storing them in plastic bags. Crimini mushrooms can also be frozen if necessary.
