Tradition makes way for more sustainable snacks
Beef jerky may have a solid place in the snack world, but the beef industry leaves behind a substantial carbon footprint. Michael Pan, founder of Pan's Mushroom Jerky, came across a better, more sustainable beef alternative when visiting family in Borneo, Malaysia: Shiitake mushrooms. His family recipe for mushroom jerky keeps the texture and taste profile of a standard beef jerky, but without using any meat at all. The mushroom jerky itself contains vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants while producing fewer carbon emissions.
Pan's produces and packages all of the mushroom jerky by hand in Portland, Oregon. They're proud to be able to offer jobs locally in that area.

United StatesPutting the FUN in fungi
Hey there, Hive - Jamie here from the Sustainability team! I am a notorious snacker, but have traditionally not been a huge jerky fan. What a pleasant surprise I had when I first sampled Pan's Mushroom Jerky! The texture is amazingly satisfying, I would venture to say even for those who don't like mushrooms. A hearty snack, packed full of flavor, that provides a great, eco-friendly alternative to meat-based foods. Zesty Thai is now a staple item in my backpack for every hike!

United StatesI get the hype
As a meat-leaning omnivore, it took me a few jerky strips to get used to the meatless jerky situation but I get the hype now. Worth a try!
United StatesMushroom Jerky
It was o.k., but I don't think I'd buy it again. One serving is only 1/2 package which is not very much to eat. So, I ate the whole package. Anyhow, I thought dried mushrooms would be a low calorie snack, but at 230 calories with 11 grams of sugar and 15 grams of fat per package, I'd rather eat something else.
United StatesNot bad. A lot better tasting than expected.
