DESCRIPTION / FLAVOR:
Crimini mushrooms are similar in appearance to the Whites because they come from the same family (Agaricus). Look for a naturally light tan to rich brown cap and a very firm texture. Deeper, denser, earthier flavor than White mushrooms.
SHELF LIFE:
Criminis should remain fresh for 5-7 days. Keep refrigerated in paper bags.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Substitute for, or use in combination with, any recipe calling for White mushrooms.
Hearty, full-bodied taste makes an excellent addition to beef, wild game and vegetable dishes
