Most people don’t think much about mushrooms - until they see the difference.
As someone who used to work in mushroom picking, I’ve always found it disappointing buying mushrooms from supermarkets.
I know what fresh mushrooms are supposed to look like.
But what we often see on shelves are mushrooms that have been handled multiple times - pressed, touched, and moved around - leaving marks and reducing their quality.
Mushrooms are delicate.
During my training, we were taught to handle them like eggs - gently and carefully - because even the slightest pressure can leave marks.
That’s why FreshCap focuses on:
- Freshly harvested from the farm
- Minimal handling to prevent bruising
- Clean, firm, and premium quality
- Carefully packed to maintain freshness
So we offer grades for different needs:
- Premium: for the best quality, appearance, and freshness
- Standard (Second grade) : still fresh, with slight imperfections, at a more affordable price
- Cooking grade (Third grade): best suited for sauces, bulk cooking or commercial use where appearance doesn’t matter
I don’t want to convince you with just words.
I want you to experience the difference - and see mushrooms for what they truly are.
Delicate. Clean. Almost like eggs.
Because mushrooms are nearly 90% water, even the smallest touch can leave a mark.
