Button Mushroom - Golden Mushroom

Button mushroom, also known as golden mushroom are a popular edible mushroom variety that is commonly consumed both raw and cooked.

When semi-cooked, they develop a light earthy flavour with a firm yet rubbery texture. These mushrooms are known for their umami taste, which adds a savoury depth to dishes. They are often used in cooking applications in North America, particularly in the United States, and are commonly used in dishes such as stir-fries, soups, stews, and sauces. White button mushrooms are an affordable and healthy option to add flavour to various dishes, and they are prized for their meat-like texture and versatility in culinary preparations.
