Meat: Blends Much more frequently, people are simply focused on making a better choice today than they did yesterday. And that's where vegetables and mushrooms come in. " Popular blend vegetables such as carrots, kale and broccoli have great health benefits and have been blended successful into meat. " I don't think blends are a threat to meat sales at all, " Roerink said. " In order for the blended item to have good texture, meat typically makes up some 70% of the product. So, meat still has the majority share and it remains on the plate. Blends are an all-around win. " Another big consideration is needing to find blend items that have the same spoilage rate as the meat itself. In other words, you can't risk having to dispose of the meat because the vegetables go bad in a day. Mushrooms and ground beef have a very similar rate, so they are a good match. www.unifiller.com | 1 888 733 8444 PRODUCTION.
