Canada: new stuffed portabella mushrooms

The largest Canadian mushroom grower makes enjoying mushrooms all that much easier with the launch of two new stuffed portabella mushrooms – Rustic Mediterranean and Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato; both flavours are available to retailers in a 245 gram (8.6 oz.) pack.

Different from the conventional stuffed button mushrooms, these stuffed portabellas are incredibly versatile and can be used as an appetizer, side-dish or entrée. “We really thought about the end consumer and what they wanted from a versatility stand-point. These products are great for entertaining but are primarily intended to be used as a substitute for a salad or baked potato in a meal,” said Jane Rhyno, Director of Sales and Marketing. “With the new year coming and the increased focus on healthy and nutritious diets, our stuffed portabellas offer a delicious way for consumers to satisfy these needs.”

Highline stuffed portabella mushrooms are great for the time-starved consumer, who wants to enjoy a delicious meal without the all the prep work. “These stuffed portabellas are the perfect quick and easy meal solution. Made with fresh, flavourful ingredients, they deliver on taste and nutrition,” said Hsian Kim, Corporate Communications Manager. “At roughly 70 calories per stuffed portabella, you can enjoy them without all the guilt, plus they provide nutrients such as selenium, iron and potassium.”

The stuffed portabellas are packaged in a sleek, black till which is recyclable. The packaging itself was specifically designed to keep each stuffed portabella separated, to avoid unnecessary bruising or damage.
