Embracing plant-based

For many, eating a meat-free meal isn’t really a meal However, a growing proportion of us have decided to have it less often in the context of a “flexitarian diet that is more healthy and healthier for the environment.

It’s not a fad. “Flexitarian” is quickly becoming a viable option for a lifestyle as a vegetarian or meat-eater. An international study we conducted in 2017 showed that between 30% and 40 percent of people are eager to make the switch to a lifestyle that is based on less or no meat. Many people are taking on the challenge and variety cooking plant-based food choices on a regular basis and not feeling stress of not eating meat ever in the future.

As demand rises – the sales of food products derived from plants in the US Have grown by 29% over the last two years, as per the Good Food Institute – so as the quality of cooked food items made from plants. The meals that are no longer meat-based can be delicious and bursting with savory, complex flavours – and are no longer consigned to the dark corners of the local supermarket.

At Nestle we’re responding to this demand with delicious plant-based food products that focus in terms of nutrition, taste and value. This is through brands such as Garden Gourmet in Europe and Sweet Earth in the US And across our portfolio.

Injecting flavor and nutrients into plant-based foods food products in Europe

As the second-largest vegan brand in Europe, Garden Gourmet is rapidly growing in 15 different countries satiating vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians as well.

The days of the desire for that classic bacon cheeseburger meant abandoning your plant-based lifestyle goals. In the year 2000, Nestle became the first food and beverage firm to create all three essential components – vegan bacon, cheese, and hamburgers (dubbed the “PB triple play”) for an absolutely convincing, no-compromise vegan alternative.

The search for authentic vegan alternatives to your favorite food items is a continuous process Our food experts are constantly tweaking and testing to create ever-better versions similar to the latest version of a automobile and mobile phones. In September of 2020, the Garden Gourmet introduced a new revision of our burger made from plants that was first introduced in April of 2019. It has the most meaty plant-based taste yet, and a luscious texture. In addition, it is less harmful to the environment than beef burgers made from conventional ingredients that requires less land and producing 75 percent less carbon emissions. It’s not called Sensational Burger for no reason.

Any self-respecting expert on plant-based foods will tackle a traditional burger without thinking about the wonderful sausage. Since the spring of 2020 Europeans can take pleasure in garden gourmet delicious Sausage that is which is available as Bratwurst and Chorizo varieties and made with various carefully selected ingredients like beetroot, soy peppers, carrots coconut and rapeseed oils.

Flexitarians who are looking to become flexitarians have the chance to have a real Cheeseburger and Sausage Sandwich So what’s do they have to do next? A tuna melt obviously. Our tuna alternative made from plants is now available at supermarkets across Switzerland. The vegan alternative to tuna is the first product offered by Nestle made from plant-based seafood. It contains only six natural ingredients and offers the texture, taste and appearance.

After its popularity as the first offer of plant-based seafood Nestle launched Vrimp which is a vegan shrimp. It is a fantastic invention that combines konjac, peas, and seaweed root.
