Portabellas have a deep flavor. Portabella mushroom caps are light tan in color, rounded, with a bit of texture. They have gills visible on the underside of the caps which can grow up to 6 inches in width. Portabellas have a distinctly pungent, earthy flavor and fleshy texture. They are actually mature criminis and have a meatier flavor, the result of a somewhat longer growing period.

All of our dried cultivated mushrooms are organically grown and carefully hand selected ensuring the highest quality dried mushrooms.

Origin: Oregon and Southern California

Applications: Use the portabellas wherever you would use white button mushrooms if you want to enhance the flavor. Their savory flavor compliments steaks, chops, poultry, seafood and grilled vegetables.

How to Reconstitute: Simmer dried mushrooms in 1 cup of liquid (water, stock, milk or wine) per ounce of mushrooms for 20 minutes in a covered pan. Strain broth through a coffee filter and reserve for use in the main dish or stock. Rinse the rehydrated mushrooms under water, slice, and add to your recipe.

Storage and Handling: Dried wild mushrooms can be stored away from light at room temperature for at least a year in airtight plastic bags, jars or other containers. Dried mushrooms do not need to be refrigerated.

Specifications: It takes about 5 pounds of fresh mushrooms to create 8 ounces of dried mushrooms. Your dried portabella mushrooms will arrive in a large zip lock bag.
