WATSONVILLE, CA - To consider restaurants operating without mushrooms is unthinkable. They impart a depth of flavor that is nearly impossible to replicate, and their numerous health benefits are turning them into superfoods right before our eyes. To get the scoop on how Monterey Mushrooms keeps foodservice operators connected with top-quality mushrooms, I spoke with Marketing Manager Lindsey Occhipinti.

“We’re your go-to source for everything mushrooms, offering a complete range—from white, Baby Bella, and Portabella to a variety of specialty mushrooms. Our selection includes conventional, organic, specialty, and high vitamin D options, available in convenient 24 oz top-sealed packages or bulk boxes,” Lindsey told me.

One of the reasons Monterey Mushrooms is so dedicated to helping its foodservice operators find the right solutions is that it believes mushrooms are a must-have for any menu.

This is due to their versatility and ability to complement a wide range of global cuisines.

“We always look forward to connecting with the foodservice community each year in Monterey, California, and gaining fresh insights from the IFPA General Session—this year’s panel on the evolving role of health in foodservice is especially relevant, as mushrooms are packed with a powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants,” Lindsey added. “Mushrooms have a high nutritional value, including potassium, selenium, copper, ergothioneine, and the B vitamins riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid. We'd love to see you at booth #221 in the Serra Ballroom—come say hello to both new and familiar faces on our team!”

You won’t want to miss stopping by, so be sure to add Monterey Mushrooms to your list of companies to see at the upcoming Foodservice Conference.
