Upcycled Mushroom Pestos

Smallhold Mushroom Pesto is a flavorful and sustainable way to elevate everything from pastas to salads and sandwiches. Recognized as a 2023 NEXTY Awards finalist in the category of Best New Condiment, Sauce and/or Dip, Smallhold Mushroom Pesto gives new life to imperfect mushrooms that would otherwise go to waste. In each plastic-neutral certified container, there's a half-pound of organic mushrooms in the savory, aromatic sauce.

Brands are creatively repurposing upcycled ingredients, production by-products and surplus components to craft innovative products and they're resonating with consumers who are eager to make sustainable choices while supporting waste reduction efforts. This conscious consumerism reflects a growing desire among shoppers to align purchasing decisions with environmental values and drive positive change in the way products are sourced and manufactured.
