The Culinary Team at Mediterra received their prestigious 2-star Green certification based on the implementation of 49 environmental practices. The association scores restaurants and foodservice operations in seven environmental categories including energy and water efficiency; the use of sustainable food; reusables and eco-friendly disposables; waste reduction and recycling; sustainable furnishings and building materials; and chemical and pollution reduction.
Restaurants must have a full-scale recycling program, be free of polystyrene foam and fulfill yearly education requirements for staff.
According to Executive Chef Tyler Field, the Fresh Seasonal Salad served with the Smoothie of the Day, and the Antioxidant Salad have been extremely well received and have recently become top sellers.
A recent article written by the Chef explained the health benefits of squash that includes promoting cardiovascular health, improving lung health, protecting against birth defects and help fighting disease. “The monthly newsletter is just one way for us to communicate the message and our members have voted with repeated requests.”
