White button mushrooms are the most widely cultivated mushroom in the US.
One of the less flavorful mushroom varietes, white buttons can be prepared in a myriad of ways to create distinct unique and healthy dishes.
Recent research shows white button mushrooms contain the antioxidant ergothioneine and help to reduce aromatase activity in the body, which is linked with breast cancer.
Choose white button mushrooms that are firm, bright and free of any slime. Store unwashed in their carton or a zip seal bag for up to 3 days. Wash well before using.
