How Do You Clean Portobello Mushrooms?
Although most portobello mushrooms come pre-washed it’s always a great idea to clean the mushrooms, before eating.
How To Clean Portobello Mushrooms:
- Remove the mushroom stem, if still attached, either use a knife and cut it off or twist it off with your fingers.
