Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Crimini mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked, and can be substituted for white mushrooms in any recipe. Immediately before using fresh crimini mushrooms, clean them gently with a brush or cloth towel, and remove the base of the stem. When serving crimini mushrooms raw, sprinkle them with lemon juice or vinegar to prevent them from turning brown.
