Victoria Marinated Mushrooms

$4.49 In the past, mushrooms were constantly associated with magical powers, even 4600 years ago! Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics from over 4600 years ago were found that tell us that Egyptians called mushrooms “the magic food”. This is because they believed that they would be immortal if they consumed this “magic food”. Because of this, only pharaohs were allowed to eat mushrooms, a food of the Egyptian gods. Victoria mushrooms won’t make you immortal like the Egyptians believed, but they will certainly make you remember their excellent flavor! Victoria, a family owned business since 1929, takes fresh, high quality mushrooms, then blanches and packages them within hours of picking to give you only the freshest product available! The mushrooms have firm and fleshy, white caps and are marinated in vinegar, Italian olive oil, sea salt, garlic, and spices. There is so much you can do with these marinated mushrooms. They make a great addition to soups, salads, pizza, sauces, dips and rice. Adding them to omelets makes for a delicious breakfast and you can put them on sandwiches for lunch. Or for hors d’oeuvres, make an antipasto tray with the marinated mushrooms as well as sliced meats, Italian cheeses, pepperoni, olives and roasted peppers.
