The baby of the Portobello family, Swiss Browns are button mushrooms with a bolder, more robust taste. They will add a stronger mushroom flavour, and beautiful rustic colour to cooked dishes. Firmer and more dense than White Buttons, Swiss Browns have slightly less moisture content and hold their shape better when cooked. This makes them ideal for kebabs and perfect for risottos, stir fries, sauces and stews.
Swiss Browns are super rich in selenium and B vitamins. In fact, a 100g handful will give you all of your daily vitamin B7 needs, 33% of your selenium and 61% of your niacin.
