Due to the lack of time and the accelerated pace of life that we lead, consumers' eating style has changed. Nowadays there is little time to cook and the "tupper" trend is exploding.
But fashions evolve and from the tupper to the "take away", food stands ready to eat whole menus.
According to the 'Alimentación de Conveniencia-Ready to eat' study published by Aecoc, 56% of Spaniards consume ready-to-eat products throughout their working day.
This change has favored the consumption of ready-to-eat meals, and consumers are increasingly focusing on taste when buying this type of product, but they are also paying more attention to health. Interest in vegetarian and vegan food has also increased.
The most popular flavors in this type of culinary offerings are ethnic and exotic. It is for this reason that innovation continues in prepared foods prioritizing new flavor applications and emphasizing the benefits of these dishes, such as freshness, protein content and source of fiber.
Below we highlight the fastest growing ethnic flavors in prepared food launches:
- MEDITERRANEAN + 39
- LATIN AMERICAN + 32%.
- EAST ASIAN + 16%.
The ever-expanding variety of offerings in prepared foodservice allows consumers to take a more individual approach to eating according to their preferences and tastes.
Consumers can now enjoy their favorite world cuisine recipes in the comfort of their own home.
At Trades S.A. we have ingredients, recipes and ideas to create the most innovative dishes.
