I came across this kit in Whole Foods the other day and was intrigued by the concept. The kits consists of a prepackaged box with 100% recycled coffee grounds and will produce 1.5 lbs of tasty gourmet oyster mushrooms.
It is basically 3 easy steps: cut open the interior bag, mist and harvest in 10 days. The ingenious idea came from 2 business school graduates who experimented with the concept{of taking recycled coffee grinds and grow mushrooms} and made their first batch in a small bucket in their fraternity. The rest is history and the Back to the Roots company was formed. Besides the fact that the kit is a great gift, the company is promoting sustainability, healthy communities, local growth, as well as the donation of kits to schools to help in their educational development. These kits are a must have for your holiday shopping!
You always find the most fabulous things. This is def on my xmas wish list!
Thanks
Alison
I have to admit I’m not a huge mushroom fan, but this is just too cool!
