White mushrooms
White button mushrooms are the most popular mushrooms in the UAE and around the world, and they are loved for their versatility in a variety of dishes.
Typically about the size of 4.5-6.5 cm, these mushrooms feature a smooth white cap, with gills that can be either open or closed. Their creamy white colour complements dishes like pasta and risotto, keeping them light and visually appealing. White cup mushrooms can be roasted, sautéed, diced, or blended with minced meat for dishes like spaghetti or tacos. They’re also great eaten raw in salads!
White button mushrooms are packed with nutrients, including vitamin D, antioxidants, potassium, selenium, amino acids, riboflavin, phosphorus, zinc, folate, and manganese. Their mild flavour and firm texture make them a great addition to sautés, salads, pizzas, pasta, stir-fries, and more.
Preparation Tips:
No peeling is required! Just wipe them with a damp cloth or brush if needed.
Cooking Ideas:
Roast whole for a hearty side.
Stuff with your favourite fillings and bake.
Slice, dice, or chop as needed.
Finely chop and blend with minced meat for a flavour boost.

Swiss Brown mushrooms and portobellos come from the same variety. When left to grow a few extra days, a Swiss Brown matures into a large portobello.
Brown mushrooms
Brown button mushrooms typically range from 4.5 to 6.5 cm in size and are well known for their dense texture and rich umami flavour.

These mushrooms are ideal for stir-fries, pasta, risotto, and skewers on the grill.

White baby mushrooms
These small, round mushrooms are considered premium as they are harvested before reaching full maturity. True to their name, baby button mushrooms are about the size of a coin, with a tightly closed cap. As they’re harvested young, they’re very firm, holding their shape well throughout cooking. They are great to be cooked whole without being chopped.

Portobellini mushrooms
Portobellini mushrooms are medium-sized, measuring 6 to 7 cm in diameter, with slightly open gills and a sturdy stem.

White portobello mushrooms
Flat mushrooms are the largest in the white mushroom family, sometimes growing over 10 cm in diameter. As they mature, their gills become fully exposed, giving them a softer texture and a richer umami flavour. These mushrooms are ideal for dishes that require a deep, bold taste and work especially well in sauces, bakes, and roasts.
