STORAGE AND HANDLING

The do's and don'ts of storage and handling


DO'S

  • Refrigerate immediately after receiving and store at 2-4°C and 95% humidity. Air flow from coolers should be avoided
  • Store in original cartons as non-porous materials accelerate deterioration of the product
  • Mushrooms require little preparation. There's no need to peel them - apart from being a fiddly job, a lot of the goodness and flavour is in the skin. If necessary, simply use a soft pastry brush to gently brush any dirt from the surface and trim the dry end of the stem. your mushrooms are now ready to use!


DON'TS

  • Store near items which have strong odours as they will be absorbed by the mushrooms
  • stack heavy items on top of mushroom cartons
