Portobellos are the final full-grown stage of the button mushroom’s life.

These mushrooms are much larger than cremini or button mushrooms and have a more meaty texture, but still retain a mild flavor. They have their cap fully open, exposing the dark gills underneath

Portobellos are large enough to be used as vegetarian burgers or stuffed with other ingredients, and are often baked instead of fried.

How to Purchase: Can be purchased in bulk, cello-wrapped trays, and sliced.
Taste Profile: Since they are grown to a large size, Portabella mushrooms lose some moisture, giving them a meaty texture and earthy taste.
How to Serve: Can be grilled, baked, or deep-fried, are great as an appetizer, side dish or entrée. Because of their natural meatiness, Portabella mushrooms are great meat substitutes with no fat, sodium, or cholesterol.
