Pack Sizes and Availability

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. Avoid air flow from coolers.
Store in original
containers, non-porous plastic accelerates deterioration.
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.
