Fresh & IQF Mushrooms
Fresh Mushrooms
Fresh mushrooms are a great addition to meals kids love like pizza, hamburgers, spaghetti, sloppy Joes, tacos, salads and more. Learn more about fresh mushrooms, the nutritional powerhouse.
For more information about the nutritional benefits of mushrooms, sustainability and tips and tricks, please visit All About Mushrooms.
Fresh mushrooms are available year-round and commercially produced in almost every state by more than 282 growers.
Very low in calories, sodium and fat – and cholesterol-free, mushrooms provide a hearty, meaty flavor that can be used in virtually any cuisine.
IQF Mushrooms
Finely chopped IQF mushrooms blend seamlessly into meatballs, hamburgers, tacos, casseroles and many other classic ground meat entrees that students love. And they look and taste just like ground meat!
Contact your distributor to see if IQF mushrooms are available to you! This versatile ingredient is a great kitchen staple.
