“We are thrilled to be partnering with Sprouts Farmers Market, a leader in gut-healthy foods for this new product launch. Our ability to innovate and provide a diversity of products is one of our key strengths and where we will continue to lead with our retail partners,” says Jasmine Byrne, President of Big Mountain Foods.

Mushrooms are packed with a powerhouse of health benefits, full of vitamins and minerals and are sustainable as they require only a small amount of land, energy and water to produce. They also contain properties that may help relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, and stimulate the growth of brain cells to protect them from damage caused by dementia, among other benefits (Healthline.com). Big Mountain Foods recognizes the powerful benefits of mushrooms and will continue to aggressively curate recipes from lion’s mane and other fungi species.
Horizon Distributors, PSC Natural Foods, Jonluca Enterprises Inc., and Vejii Vegan Marketplace will distribute Lion’s Mane Mushroom Crumble across Canada starting in October.
