Jerky Gone Wild
Exotic mushrooms are umami-rich. Schroom Snack's
vegan Premium Mushroom Jerky, made from fungi
grown on its farm, is 100 percent natural with meaty
flavor, protein, fiber, and no cholesterol. In addi-
tion to jerky, the com-
pany runs MycoLab
Solutions, where it
teaches mushroom
growing classes, con-
sults on mushroom
growing, and provides
informational videos.
A TWIST ON CANDY
Healthy candy is in: Elon Musk reportedly plans to create a
healthy candy brand that includes sweets that don't cause cavi-
ties. Over the pond, Finnish vegan chocolate company Goodio
has patented ChocOat, the first chocolate to use organic oats
instead of milk. Made up of 24 percent oats, it has 60 percent
less sugar than chocolates made with white sugar as it includes
coconut palm sugar instead. Goodio hopes the patent will
encourage others to join the movement to make chocolate with
organically and ethically produced ingredients.
