Mushrooms in the News: 06-14-2021

Mia Syn, MS, RDN highlighted the nutritional benefits of mushrooms and The Blend in a recent blog post. The long-time partner of the Council encouraged readers to try The Blend as a way to help “reduce fat and calories in your favorite classic comfort foods,” such as burgers, spaghetti and tacos.

School Nutrition Association encouraged readers to enter the Blended Burger Contest in their latest print issue of School Nutrition Magazine.

Carina Stathis of Daily Mail Australia, mentioned mushrooms as one of 2021’s top 5 skincare ingredients. “Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, mushrooms have been experimented with for skincare for years and are now beginning to be incorporated in skin lotions, creams, and ointments, with the popularity of the ingredient expected to take off this season.”
