Mushrooms in the News: 05-31-2021

Eat This, Not That! highlighted the importance of adding more vegetables into your meals. Chef Audrey Sweetwood of Freshly, a food delivery service, provided tips & tricks on how to seamlessly add more veggies, starting with mushrooms. “‘Thanks to their ‘meaty’ taste and texture, mushrooms make a great addition to bulk-up burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, etc., adding in extra nutrients, fiber, and moisture without sacrificing flavor,’ Sweetwood says.” 

In honor of National Hamburger Day, Foodservice Director shared 5 burger recipes, including Stephanie Izard’s Blended Burger. The burger recipe was developed in partnership with The Council in 2018 to promote the Blended Burger Project.
