Pack Sizes and Availability

All Monterey Mushrooms products are packed in 3 or 5 or 10 pound bulk foodservice cases and are available year round in most markets.

Storage and Handling

• Immediately refrigerate after receiving. Store between 34°-38°F and 85-90% humidity.
• Mushrooms keep for at least a week in the refrigerator.
• Keep mushrooms in original packaging until ready to use.
• Once opened, store mushrooms in a brown paper bag.
• Fresh Mushrooms should never be frozen, but frozen sautéed mushrooms will keep for up to a month.
• Do not store near pungent items as mushrooms may absorb strong odors.
• Do not stack heavy items on top of mushroom containers.
• Do not wash before storage. When ready to use, wipe gently with damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. For volume preparation, quickly rinse in cool water; drain. Shake gently to remove excess water. Do not soak mushrooms because they absorb water which speeds up deterioration.
