What it is

Cremini mushrooms are a common variety of edible fungi, also known as baby bellas. They are the immature stage of the portobello mushroom, harvested when they are still firm and have a smooth, brown cap. They grow in controlled environments and are harvested by hand.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mushrooms, and they are considered a nutritious whole food. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
