mushrooms
The demand for mushrooms and the global mushroom market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.5% from 2021 to 2028.
We are seeing an upward trend in mushroom consumption because mushrooms
are associated with three hot topics: plant-based eating, immune health, and sustainability.
They also appear in many alternative meat products and beverages and their unique unami flavor may help reduce salt intake by 30 to 40% among consumers.
