As plant-based eating continues to grow, mushrooms have emerged as the answer—delivering on flavor, nutrition, and environmental aspects of the trend. Here’s why mushrooms are shining in the plant-based movement: ➡️ 33% of consumers expect to increase their plant-based consumption in the next year, with bowls, stir-fries, and pizzas among the top dishes driving this trend. Mushrooms are key ingredients in all three. ➡️ The shift toward fresh, whole ingredients over ultra-processed alternatives positions mushrooms as the ideal natural, nutrient-dense solution. ➡️ Mushrooms’ meaty texture, umami flavor, and culinary versatility make them a standout in dishes like burgers, stir-fries, and even creative recipes like Lion’s Mane Smashburgers and Shiitake Bacon. This represents opportunity for retailers to drive sales while appealing to the growing demographic of health-conscious and eco-minded shoppers. Here are three ways to do that: ✔️ Cross-merchandise mushrooms with other plant-based staples (like tofu or grains) to inspire larger basket sizes. ✔️ Highlight mushrooms’ versatility with recipe cards, POS signage, and eye-catching displays that showcase them as the perfect meat alternative. ✔️ Tap into trends like The Blend—combining mushrooms with meat for more flavorful and cost-effective meal options. At South Mill Champs, we believe mushrooms are the answer for today’s plant-based consumer. By thoughtfully promoting their many benefits—whether as a meat substitute, center-of-plate feature, or nutrient-dense addition—retailers can capitalize on this growing trend while driving mushroom sales forward.
