What the AI looks for in Canned & Jarred Mushrooms
- Cut
- Stems and pieces for sauces and casseroles. Sliced for pizza. Whole for antipasto or skewers. Stems and pieces are cheaper but look ragged.
- Mushroom type
- Button mushrooms for Western dishes. Straw mushrooms for Asian soups and stir-fries. They differ in shape, texture and flavor.
- Drained weight
- Compare drained weight across cans. Mushroom cans carry a lot of brine.
- Sodium
- Rinse, or choose no-salt-added. Mushrooms absorb salty brine.
Brands that matter
- Pennsylvania Dutchman: US canned button mushrooms.
- Green Giant: Jarred and canned mushrooms.
What to avoid
- Expecting canned mushrooms to brown like fresh ones
