Gourmet
Portabellas and Portabellinis have found their way from the kitchens of
upscale restaurants to the tables of American families. More than a side
dish or a flavor accent, the Portabella - a larger, heartier relative of the
Domestic White and Italian Brown (Crimini) - can stand on its own. In fact,
its earthy, meaty flavor, texture, and large size make it the perfect zero
fat, zero sodium, zero cholesterol meat substitute.
Portabellas and Portabellinis are available year-round in the most popular
configurations and pack sizes:

stuffed. Whether served as an appetizer, side or meat substitute,
