Mushrooms in the News: 02-24-17

This week, QSR, FSR, FreshPlaza and The Packer all featured the press release announcing the third-annual Blended Burger Project, noting how chefs can now sign up to participate.

In addition, MSN featured tips from Sarah-Jane Bedwell, R.D., L.D.N., host of ‘Cooking with Sarah-Jane’, on how to make your food last longer, which included a mention of The Blend. Bedwell notes: “The texture and flavor of the mushrooms blends seamlessly with the meat, and it allows you to use less meat in one go—meaning more for later. Plus, it’s a great easy way to cut a few calories, if that’s something you’re interested in doing.”
