Mushrooms in the News: 04-28-17

In celebration of Earth Day last weekend, Whitney Hemmer, Registered Dietitian appeared on ‘Today in Iowa,’ a local TV news station in Des Moines talking about health and sustainability benefits of The Blend.

Foodservice Director covered the Blended Burger Project kick-off announcement, and touted the blend as a way to “give indulgent items a healthier spin” in a separate article.

Lastly, four publications covered the blended burger event at the University of Montana this week, where chefs Jehangir Mehta and Lance Avery gave out hundreds of free blended sliders.

Our Earth Month Sustainability promotion concluded with the quiz being taken 640+ times, driving engagement with our mushroom sustainability facts and resulting in 60 Blenditarian pledges (9% conversion rate). Below is a sampling of the Earth Month pledges:

“Just learning of this. I usually eat mushrooms every couple days with something. It’s interesting to know it has more of an impact than just my belly.”

“My kiddo deserves a healthy planet to grow up in!”

“I pledge to do better for Gaia, our Mother Earth; all our brothers & sisters on it; my family, friends & fellow humans, and for my continued improvement to my health & well-being.”
