There is a growing demand by consumers for wholesome menu options.
In fact, 50% of consumers say they’re currently trying to consume fewer animal-based foods (meat, diary, and/or eggs) and more plant-based foods (fruits, grains, beans, and/or vegetables). Plant-based foods can fit within a multitude of eating patterns, placing greater emphasis on vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits. And, we do know with plant-based foods, there can also be a positive environmental impact!
If you’re interested in serving more plant-forward dishes to your guests, try out these delicious recipes that our chefs have curated for both on and off-premise menus.
Use these recipes as inspiration and add your own touch – remember, plant-based doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing flavour! Make sure to tag us on Instagram, unileverfoodsolutions_arabia, and use the hashtag #plantpowered to show us your creative plant-based menu dishes!
