Paper Scraps Vol 3 : Mushrooms 101
* Never peel mushrooms because their flavour and goodness lies in their skin.
* Wipe mushrooms with damp paper towel when eating raw. If cooking, use a pastry brush o brush away dirt and trim the stalks if they are dry.
* Store mushrooms, unwashed, in brown paper bags in the lowest shelf of the fridge. Mushrooms sweat in plastic bags and spoil very quickly.
* When buying mushrooms, select the button variety with tightly-closed caps. The gills become exposed with age. The more the gills are visible, the older the produce is.
