Thanks to their year-round availability and versatility, mushrooms are increasingly becoming a go-to ingredient for school meals. In this webinar featuring school nutrition expert and consultant to Mushrooms in Schools, Malissa Marsden, SNS, we will share an overview of the Back-to-School season as it relates to Pre-K and K-12 schools.

For the next two school years, Mushrooms in Schools is adding a new program: the Portable Portabella Burger promotion spotlights portabella mushrooms as an on-trend, vegetarian entrée for school menus.

This webinar will cover:

• How schools purchase mushrooms, and where we see it going in SY22-23.
• The increase in State mandated offering of vegetarian meals.
• New opportunities for mushrooms in childcare settings continue to increase introduction of fresh mushrooms to our youngest consumers.
• How an increased emphasis on local food and local purchases can help support your business.
• Which Mushrooms in Schools resources can be shared with customers to drive more mushroom purchases.
