FAQs
Mushrooms don’t actually freeze well, and that’s why I like to keep canned mushrooms in my pantry. Canning keeps the mushrooms at the right texture for adding to recipes or cooking.
This is because canned mushrooms are very watery. They soak up the maximum amount of liquid while they are in their little cans.
Cooking dries the mushrooms out a bit, giving them a more realistic texture. Cooking also gives you an opportunity to add seasonings and oil to really amp up the flavor of your mushrooms.
