How to store champignon?

Once cut, mushrooms can only be stored in the refrigerator for five or six days. In addition, brown or buff spots may appear on his hat.

Prefer to store your mushrooms in a paper bag rather than a plastic bag to avoid spoilage. However, be careful to store them away from fragrant foods like cheese because these mushrooms absorb odors.

Trick : A few brown spots shouldn't ruin your delicious mushrooms. After peeling off or cutting off the damaged parts, you can still cook and consume these mushrooms.

For long-term storage, remember that champignon freezes very well raw or cooked after a good cleaning.

Cooking: is it worth peeling champignon?

It's finally time to get down to business: what if we tried these delicious mushrooms right now?

Before getting out the herbs and other ingredients, let's take a moment to prepare the champignon: should the stems be removed?

Is it worth it to cleanse the skin of the fungus? Should you soak mushrooms before cooking? Can we prepare them ahead of time?

If you bought Mushroom Edibles with an uncut stem, first cut off the earthy end at the base of the stem.

Then quickly rinse the mushrooms under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. It's best not to let the mushrooms soak in, as they can absorb water and become spongy.

Then comes the fatal stage: peeling. In fact, you don't need to peel mushrooms, especially if you're cooking them.

However, if you are eating them raw, we recommend removing the skin for a better texture. To do this, gently pull the skin with a knife in parts, starting from the base of the hat and ending with its top.

All you have to do is cut the mushrooms into quarters, strips, brunoise or julienne depending on your preparation.
