PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS are essentially a variation of fully matured white mushrooms. Their rich flavor is due to the naturally-occurring moisture that evaporates from the mushroom as it grows. This is also the reason for the portobellos meaty texture.

In the early 1980s, growers of the large portobello mushroom had little success selling their unique product. When a marketing plan was devised and the public was educated about the portobellos flavor and meat-like consistency, consumers began appreciating this mushroom for the delicacy it is.

Description: "Dense, hearty portobello mushrooms get an upscale treatment when cooked in garlic butter and wine sauce."
