Mushrooms are delicate and require the right storage conditions to stay fresh. Follow these tips to get the most out of your mushrooms.
Avoid Plastic Bags
Mushrooms need to breathe. Use a paper bag or a bowl covered loosely with a paper towel instead of sealed plastic bags.
Keep Them in the Fridge
Store mushrooms in the main body of the fridge, not the crisper drawer. The crisper is too humid for mushrooms.
Don't Wash Until Ready to Use
Mushrooms absorb water like a sponge. Brush off any dirt with a dry brush just before cooking.
How Long Do Mushrooms Last?
Whole mushrooms last 5-7 days. Sliced mushrooms last 3-5 days. Cooked mushrooms keep 3-5 days in an airtight container.
Order fresh mushrooms from DeliverFresh for the best quality.
