Step 1
The shelf life of mushrooms depends on the method chosen. Do not keep mushrooms in the bottom drawer of the vegetable refrigerator for more than a week. In addition to the fact that when stored for too long, substances that are not very beneficial to health are formed in mushrooms, they become dark and dry. Do not wash the mushrooms before placing them in the refrigerator. Otherwise, they will darken almost before our eyes. They should be stored in a closed container to prevent drying out. If it is a plastic bag, then every few days it must be opened for ventilation, so that the condensation formed during the evaporation of moisture does not lead to decay.
Step 2
Mushrooms not protected by polyethylene can be stored on any shelf of the refrigerator within 3 days. If you keep them for a longer time, they can harm your health.
Step 3
If you don't want to pay almost twice as much for champignons before the New Year holidays compared to their usual price, it is easiest to freeze the mushrooms in advance. This way of storing mushrooms is the simplest and most versatile. It is enough just to rinse the mushrooms from the remnants of the earth, chop them into pieces of the desired size, and then put them in plastic containers or ordinary bags. The container is placed in the freezer and after freezing the mushrooms are successfully stored for half a year. At the same time, you can use them for cooking according to the same recipes as fresh champignons. They are good for both soup and meat with mushrooms.
