# Blended Burger Patties Teton Waters Ranch's Grass-Fed Beef Patties are Mixed with Savory Mushrooms By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-10-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grass-fed-beef-patties References: [nosh](https://www.nosh.com/news/2018/with-new-burger-beef-brand-teton-waters-encourages-consumers-to-eat-more-plants) & [tetonwatersranch](https://www.tetonwatersranch.com/our-products/) Teton Waters Ranch (TWR) offers a range of 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef products, but its newest offering introduces grass-fed beef patties that are mixed with mushrooms. TWR's Burger Blends are touted as a "mindful mix” of both grass-fed beef and mushrooms" and have the potential to appeal to flexitarian consumers who enjoy eating meat but are also open to exploring plant-based options. Currently, TWR offers breakfast and dinner sausages, hot dogs and meatballs. When it came time to introduce a burger to its assortment, the brand considered a 100% beef burger but settled on an option that would best reflect consumer desires, as well as align with its own stance on sustainability. A number of food service providers, restaurants and meal kit brands are also appealing to the flexitarian consumer with products that flavorfully combine vegetables and meat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Blended Burger Patties:** Blending meat with plant-based options creates a new product category that appeals to consumers interested in healthy and sustainable eating. - **Flexitarian Products:** The increasing popularity of plant-based diets is driving demand for products that combine meat and vegetables. - **Sustainable Meat Products:** Companies offering sustainable meat products, like grass-fed and grass-finished beef, are positioning themselves to meet consumer demand for environmentally-friendly options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Service:** Food service providers are utilizing blended meat and vegetable products to appeal to health-conscious and environmentally-conscious consumers. - **Restaurants:** Restaurants are incorporating blended burger patties to attract flexitarian customers who want to add more plant-based options into their meat-centric diets. - **Meal Kit Brands:** Meal kit brands are developing meal options that appeal to flexitarian consumers looking for quick and easy ways to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diet. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blended Meat Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phils-finest.md) - [Customizable Mycelium Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/50cut.md) - [Umami Mushroom Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-actual-truffle-burger.md) - [Mushroom-Derived Hybrid Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mush-foods.md) - [Hybrid Hot Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/top-dogs.md) - [Textural Veggie-Rich Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actual-veggies-burgers.md) - [Reformulated Pork-Free Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teton-waters-ranch-breakfast-sausages.md) - [Premium Hybrid Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnea.md) - [Flavorful Veg-Forward Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-marbles.md)
