Shoppers Value Pieces & Stems Mushrooms
What it is
This product contains pieces and stems of mushrooms. These are typically the parts of the mushroom that are left after the caps have been separated for other uses. They are often smaller in size and may have a slightly different texture compared to whole mushrooms. The mushrooms are preserved in a way that keeps them ready for cooking. This makes them a convenient option for adding mushroom flavor to dishes.

Before using, drain the mushrooms from their liquid. You can rinse them briefly under cool water if desired. They are ready to be added directly to your cooking. Sauté them with onions and garlic as a base for many dishes. They can be simmered in sauces to absorb flavors or added to baked goods like quiches and gratins. Their smaller size means they cook relatively quickly, integrating well into the overall dish without needing extensive preparation.
