Healthy choices, affordability and nutritional quality will be key in the year ahead. According to the flavor trend report, companies should adapt to these trends by choosing affordable and nutritious ingredients while still being tasty and of high quality. A key trend here is the shift to plant-based products. Rather than depending only on meat alternatives, there's a growing use of high-protein, natural ingredients like mushrooms, walnuts, tempeh, and legumes. These ingredients are healthy and cost-effective and provide various flavors and textures, appealing to consumers who are increasingly focused on healthy eating. https://lnkd.in/dGidGURq
