WATSONVILLE, CA – With more and more shoppers look to trim down and start the year off with healthy eating habits, Monterey Mushrooms has created a useful tool for health-conscious consumers—a nutrition guide for registered dieticians and retailers to promote the extraordinary health benefits of mushrooms.

“We created the guide with our retail partners in mind so they could promote the health benefits of mushrooms,” said Lindsey Roberts, Marketing Coordinator. “Mushrooms are high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and have been shown to have an impact on hunger and weight—all the topics shoppers are focused on at this time of year.”

The mushroom nutrition guide, created with a team of experts, includes nutrition facts and messages, cooking tips, recipes, and varietal information. The guide can be accessed online, here, and the company is providing dieticians with mushroom nutrition messages for use on retailers’ social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

“We know shoppers look to their local grocery stores for recipe ideas and do-it-yourself health tips,” Roberts said. “Our goal is to make it easy for our retail partners to help tell our nutrition story.”

Retailers looking to capitalize on healthy eating habits can turn customers on to the remarkably healthy category in person and via social media, and boost mushroom sales throughout the year.
