Keeping it in the fridge is a common way to slightly extend the life of mushrooms or any other vegetable. Although this method is effective, it helps only to a certain extent.
If you too are struggling to keep your mushrooms fresh for long, check out this tip shared by chef Pankaj Bhadauria.
The chef, in an Instagram reel, says that mushrooms have a high water content due to which their shelf life is short. To keep them soft and crunchy, first, take an air-tight container and line it using some tissue paper. According to the chef, this will make the mushrooms last longer as the tissue paper gets soaked in water. In the next step, place some tissue paper over the mushrooms, close the container properly and store them in the refrigerator.
The chef says that in this way the shelf life of mushrooms can be extended up to a week. So, now you don't have to worry about your mushrooms getting spoiled and can easily make some delicious dishes even after a week.
