Transforming the food industry with Australian mushrooms
The results of the AMGA's three-year project MU20003: Educating the food industry, show the truly positive impact Australian Mushrooms can have on the overall health of Australians. With the potential of Vitamin D mushrooms to triple Vitamin D intake of residents in aged care, mushrooms can address this widespread deficiency while catering to most dietary preferences. Further, with the rise of plant-based trends and flexitarian diets, research also shows substantial potential for the entire food service industry to adopt more mushrooms on menus to improve health outcomes.
