Mushroom Council’s Post

Shake Shack is trying an experiment in two New York City locations: Switching out its usual soybean oil for sugarcane oil in its fryers. Chicken bites, veggie burgers, mushroom burgers--and their beloved crinkle-cut fries--will be cooked in this new oil. Why sugarcane? It's the world's highest yielding crop, according to Zero Acre Farms, which produces the oil. It's rain-fed, saving untold quantities of water, and the oil is produced by fermentation, using much less energy and water than the traditional method of getting oil by pressing. But how does it actually taste? I haven't tasted it, but in one taste test it was described as much lighter than traditional oils, allowing the flavor of the food to come through, with a much lighter coating of oil on the finished product. Will lovers of Shake Shack's crinkly fries like a lighter tasting oil? That's a big unknown. In the past, they've shown resistance to having their fries changed. What do you think? Will this pilot succeed? Inc. Magazine #ShakeShack #Sustainability #FastFood https://lnkd.in/da36nXSV

Eating fresh, local and in-season produce is not only delicious, but it's also good for you and the environment.

Grain fact: craft breweries generate enough leftover grain (commonly called "spent grain") to feed the world. According to the National Beer Wholesalers Association, in 2021, 208 million barrels of beer were produced in the U.S. Each barrel is 31 gallons and each gallon of beer produces 1 to 2 pounds of spent grain, which averages out to be 9.6 billion pounds of spent grain produced in the U.S alone. What happens with the leftover grain? Typically, it gets hauled off to a landfill or by farmers to be used as animal feed, but as the brewing industry grows, more spent grain is being produced than the farmers can use. Since spent grain contains proteins that are rich in lipids and fiber it has a lot of nutritional value and letting it go to waste seems, well, wasteful. Instead of letting spent grain go to waste, it can be upcycled into nutritious, shelf-stable ingredients for both human and animal consumption. As you can imagine from the amount of spent grain produced by U.S. breweries alone, there's enough produced globally to be upcycled and feed the world. 🌍🌾🍺 #upcycledfood #upcycled #sustainablesnacks #sustainablefood #sustainablefoodsystems #upthenutrition #healthyfood #healthyplanet #circulareconomy #circularfoodeconomy #haveyourbeerandeatittoo #healthysnacks #highfiber #highprotein #lowsugar #eatlocal #shoplocal #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefoodsystems #sustainablegrain #spentgrain #upcycledgrain

Sedron can help solve that problem!

Shake Shack at NY's Hudson Yards and Penn Station locations uses Zero Acre Farms oil for multiple items on their menu that require frying. Zero Acre oil is made from sugarcane which makes it more sustainable and healthy compared to other frying oils. If you are wondering about the taste, read Tasting Table's evaluation: "For our money, it's the Zero Acre oil all the way...producing vegetable oils is apparently pretty bad for the ecosystem, and there's a clear advantage to Zero Acre even if the two products were completely identical. While they're 95% alike, the differences are all advantage: Zero Acre. Read More: https://lnkd.in/gjH42S8W

Who knew fermentation was the secret weapon of delicious chocolate? After harvesting, cocoa beans spend a week fermenting in a heap. This process breaks down the pulp, inhibits germination to prevent the bean from sprouting and then infuses the flavour into the chocolate. Fermentation is just one step in the amazing journey of cocoa beans to chocolate.

National Produce Misting Day, October 2nd, is a day to recognize the innovation that helps keep fruits and vegetables fresh. Although we would all love farm fresh fruits and vegetables every day, that just isn’t attainable for most of the world. Misting helps us still get crisp, hydrated and nutrient dense produce. The first example of misting was when grocers soaking burlap potato sacks in water and laid them over their stock overnight. The wet sacks kept the fruits and vegetables from drying out and keep their fresh taste, but it was tiring and labor-intensive. In 1979, the first automatic misting system was developed and revolutionized the grocery world and how we consume food and also made the transportation of it from the farm to the grocery store easier. If you’re looking for a polyspiral belt to transport your product through misters and cleaning sprayers give Mister Roberto a call today. We know that was a bad pun, but it had to be made. #conveyor #conveyors #conveyorbelt #conveyorbelts #conveyorsystem #conveyorsystems #conveyorsolutions #bandastransportadoras #beltingmadeeasy #nationalproducemistingday

Do you prefer (Pump Up The) Jam or (Ice Ice Baby) Vanilla Cream? Who would have thought?! Danish pastry made with Spent Grain Flour. What has the world come to? Are we out of our minds? Why change something that works AND is delicious?! Change is exactly what we as humans have been about for thousands of years. If we didn't evolve, we wouldn't have many of the technologies and conveniences we consider basic rights today. Another fundamental right is a planet that isn't decaying at an unprecedented rate. We need upcycled food as one of the many approaches to transform our food system. We can't continue with our current practices without causing irreparable harm to everything around us. Agrain by Circular Food Technology can help you make an enormous environmental impact when you produce everything from breads to pastries. Make the change now! #Upcycling #Food #Baking #Pastry #Bread #SpentGrains
