Cooking
Portobellos come into their own baked or grilled, and make a fantastic alternative to burgers for vegetarians – just brush with oil, then grill or barbecue.
Grilled portobellos are also an ideal vehicle for creamy poached eggs. Eat with a pile of just-wilted spinach for a vegetarian breakfast or a quick dinner. If you’ve got time, try this with a handful of juicy roasted cherry tomatoes.

Mushroom varieties
Chestnut is the tastiest small variety of mushroom. For grilling, BBQing and stuffing, Portobello have a wonderful meaty quality.
Organic mushroom farmer
Many of our mushrooms come from The Organic Mushroom Company. They’re mushroom experts and know just what they’re doing. Mushrooms take 5 weeks to grow, then they have 3 weeks’ worth of harvesting time. The team then clears out the tunnels, ploughs the compost back into the fields (it makes a fantastic soil conditioner) and the cycle begins again.
Suitable for vegans.
