Portabella Mushroom

Select

Portabella mushrooms have tan or brown caps that measure up to 6 inches in diameter. They have a deep, earthy flavor and a meaty texture that is perfect for broiling, roasting, stuffing or grilling and serving on a hamburger bun. 

Select mushrooms that are firm with a fresh, smooth appearance.  

The surfaces of the mushroom should be dry, but not dried out, and appear plump.  

A closed veil under the mushroom cap indicates a delicate flavor, while an open veil and exposed gills mean a richer flavor.
