mushroom pasta alfredo in plate

I was asked to create a recipe using mushrooms from Ireland/UK to show how versatile they are and they help protect the environment. Check out the facts below.

Understanding seasonality, and how far food travels can make eating freshly grown, locally sourced vegetables achievable and at the same time help the environment.

Using the nation's 10 most popular vegetables, the Seasonal Vegetable League Table highlights how two in five (40 percent) everyday veggies are available all year round/ 365 days. From mushrooms to potatoes to carrots and even green leaves, eating seasonally can deliver an array of healthy options.

The UK and Irish mushroom industry produce enough mushrooms to supply the whole of the UK all year round, without the need to import from countries like Poland – delivering fresher, better mushrooms with lower carbon footprint. The trendy avocado can travel as far as 6,263 miles when out of season which means it’s carbon footprint is a lot higher than mushrooms which can have an impact on the environment. Swap your Sunday morning smashed avocado for some delicious mushrooms and not only support local businesses but play a part in reducing your carbon footprint by choosing lower food mile options.

Despite the lack of knowledge about the provenance of the food they are eating - nearly two thirds of Brits (63 percent) say they are making more of an effort to reduce the food miles of the produce they buy. And 37 percent even said they’d pay MORE to buy food that came from the UK or Ireland.

When buying mushrooms, it’s important to always check the country of origin, which can be found on front of pack to ensure you’re purchasing the freshest, highest quality produce available to you.
