Better Veal

Swapping 20% of veal with white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) or desert truffles (Tirmania pinoyi) created veal patties with more protein, better moisture, and less fat without sacrificing taste. It’s a small step away from the cruelty of veal production and toward more ethical, functional food.
