Mushrooms in the News: 12-15-17

This week, Food Management spotlighted UConn’s blended burger, noting “With guidance from the Mushroom Council, UConn Dining approached the Beverly, Mass.-based Grateful Burger company to manufacture a blended burger that could be used in UConn’s large operation that serves over 180,000 meals a week.” UConn Dining completely replaced its 100-percent beef burgers with blended burgers.

Consumer outlets and blogs such as Delicious Living and One Green Planet spotlight mushroom recipes perfect for the holidays.
