Mastering Mushroom Clean-Up: Myths & Methods

Think cleaning mushrooms is a no-brainer? Let's bust some myths and get your fungi ready for a feast!

Mushrooms aren't dirty by nature — it's the sterilized peat they're grown in that clings. Let's clear the dirt, not the flavor.

Opt for a dry brush-off to keep your mushrooms earthy and firm. A gentle touch can make all the difference.

Prefer a quick rinse? Wet cleaning's fine when done right. Shake off excess water to avoid waterlogged mushrooms.

Are stuffed mushrooms on the menu? Prep the caps properly to hold all the delicious fillings without any gritty surprises.

Mushroom stems shouldn't be wasted — they're packed with flavor! Chop for dishes or use them as a clever plant-based bacon bit alternative.
