Sugar Free Button Mushrooms Delivery or Pickup

Since a sliced button mushroom has more surface exposed to air, it doesn't keep as long as a whole one. This doesn't mean a sliced mushroom is inferior. It just means you have to be more careful when choosing it to make sure that what's in the box is in good shape (firm, clean, etc.), and then try to use it within a few days of purchase.

A whole mushroom can last several days longer in the refrigerator, and it offers more cooking options, such as cutting it into a wedge or cube, which some recipes might call for. However, sliced button mushrooms offer ease of preparation, which is certainly nothing to sneer at.

If you store fresh button mushrooms properly, they will stay good for about a week. Place whole, unwashed button mushrooms in a brown paper bag and then fold the top of the bag over. Place the bag in your refrigerator's main compartment. This works because the bag absorbs moisture from the button mushrooms, so they don't get moldy or soggy.

Avoid placing button mushrooms near foods with strong flavors or odors, as they will absorb them like a sponge. Also, be sure not to stack other food items on top of them, as bruised or squished button mushrooms won't keep very long. They also don't look very appetizing. If you don't have a lot of space in your fridge, you can dry the mushrooms. Dried button mushrooms can be re-hydrated, and they only take up little space in your pantry.
