Mushrooms in the News: 12-4-19
Mushrooms were featured strongly in Thanksgiving recipe coverage in outlets such as The Washington Post, Food52 and O, the Oprah Magazine. In an article all about gravy, Becky Krystal of Washington Post says: “Mushrooms are a no-brainer, and they pack a real punch when combined with miso.”
We continue to see more trend coverage roll in as 2020 approaches, including a recent article published on Forbes about “Why Blended Products Are On The Rise.”
Applegate recently sent out a press release spotlighting their blended burger in college campuses. Wisconsin outlets including The Cap Times and The Morning Show have covered the news.
