Packaged Vegan Foods Market - Forecast (2022 - 2027)

EPA  & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market size is estimated to reach $5.28 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.81% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Omega-3 fatty acids also termed Omega-3 oils, ?-3 fatty acids, or n-3 fatty acids, are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) featured by the existence of a double bond, three atoms away from the terminal methyl group in their chemical structure. They are extensively distributed in nature, being significant components of animal lipid metabolism, and they play a vital role in the human diet and in human physiology. The three kinds of omega-3 fatty acids included in human physiology are ?-linolenic acid (ALA), discovered in plant oils, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both typically discovered in oils of marine fish. Currently, the oilseed crop has been genetically engineered to generate the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) at levels identical to that discovered in fish oil, to offer a more sustainable source of these compounds than is prevailing from wild fish capture. Investigations including omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and pregnancy have indicated everyday intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid with either fish oil with DHA (0.5 g) and EPA (0.15 g) or with methyltetrahydrofolic acid (400 ?g), both, or placebo, from gestation week 22.

The surging inclusion of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in the everyday diet of consumers is set to drive the EPA & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market. The soaring applications of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in food, dietary supplements, and clinical nutrition are set to propel the growth of the EPA & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Okay, final theory on what I think we know Sammy is going through right now.

The synopsis on Netflix says “Sammy’s Ranch”. That would lead one to assume that Sammy had purchased her own ranch, right? However, that conflicts with what we know about Sammy in Camp Cretaceous.

She agrees to go to Isla Nublar as a spy for Mantah Corp. in order to pardon her family on their debts and so they don’t lose the farm that has been in her family for generations. Sammy is explicitly shown to “do whatever it takes” for her family, even if that means putting her life in danger. I just don’t believe she would leave her family and the ranch to start her own life when she fought so hard to protect it and its legacy.

Especially when we see how adverse Sammy is to change after Yaz moved out and Brooklyn died.

Now, what I believe happened is that the Mantah Corp. Investigation led to the Gutierrez Cattle Ranch being left in jeopardy — but we also know that Kenji was funding Mantah Corp. Island for a long time as well — so there’s the possibility that he could pay off the debts on her family’s farm.

Again, we don’t know what happened to the company when the island was no longer under the Kon’s possession outside of the dinosaurs being sold on the black market.

Where I’m going with this is that I believe Sammy inherited the farm, either from her family giving it to her or whatever strings Kenji had to pull — even buying it herself. Whatever the method, I don’t think it’s a new ranch, given the fact Sammy continues her tradition of sending care packages to the others, which we see at the end of Camp Cretaceous and from Ben mentioning it in Chaos Theory, so we can only assume the address of her ranch hasn’t changed in the years since we last saw her. She also brings up Bessie and her new calf, which we know Bessie was living on her family’s farm.

Sammy’s phrasing of “It’s only me around here” followed by mentioning her parents makes it seem she’s not used to living alone, or that the fact she’s living alone isn’t on purpose. It’d be weird to bring up your parents if you moved out. “Around here” also implies the ranch she is currently at, which would also be a weird thing to say if you, again, moved out. “Around here” could also mean the region or city as a whole, which would make it sound as if her family moved out of town and Sammy had stayed behind.

This is followed by her saying “We just don’t talk much anymore”

You could argue that she moved out and she’s not used to her parents not visiting her. It’s not like we see Darius or Ben question where her family is, but we also know that they haven’t visited Sammy in such a long time. Darius wasn’t even aware that her parents stopped talking to her. They were also preoccupied in warning Sammy that they were being hunted, which could’ve prevented them from bringing it up. In general, the Nublar Five seem to not keep up with each other that regularly after Brooklyn’s death.

Which means Sammy’s family cutting contact with her happened within those 14 months, in which she hadn’t told anyone (outside of maybe Yaz).

Now, we don’t know the reason why Sammy’s family stopped talking to her, but there are a few theories I’ve seen out there that I don’t believe to be the case:

Sammy going vegetarian. Outside of being a petty reason to cut all contact with someone, I’ve only seen this mentioned in a comment saying that it was featured in the cut storyboard of Episode 3. Seeing as it was cut, I don’t think it would be canon anymore, especially as we see Sammy eating a corn dog later in the season, and I doubt Bobby Nublar was offering vegan options.

Sammy bringing Bumpy to the ranch. While a likely reason, as it could get her family in trouble with the DPW, if her family wanted nothing more to do with dinosaurs, why did they offer their cattle to still be used as food for the dinosaurs on Mantah Corp. Island? Even then, would harboring a dinosaur be enough reason to stop seeing your daughter?*

Sammy being gay. I don’t think they would’ve let Yaz visit on multiple occasions at the end of Camp Cretaceous, nor let her move in with Sammy if they were homophobic or against their relationship. At least they wouldn’t hide their bigotry for 7 years just to cut all contact with Sammy in her 20’s on a random Tuesday.

(*A quick thing I want to bring up is Ben’s reaction to seeing Bumpy, he’s not surprised she’s on Sammy’s farm unlike Darius, who hadn’t been told due to keeping himself isolated in his cabin. Sammy even says “we” brought her here, meaning her and Ben. So Ben had to have known where Sammy lived and that the Mantah Corp. Investigation took place within those 14 months).

There’s evidence to support Sammy moved out, but there’s also evidence to support she’s still on her family’s farm.

Either way, it’s clear there is distance between her and her parents, both physically and emotionally, given we don’t see her living with them added with the several times she mentions they stopped talking.

Sammy could even be hiding parts of the truth to Darius and Ben and to us, as the audience. Even then, something else entirely could’ve happened between her and her family.

I guess we just have to wait until October :3

Premade frozen packaged vegan meals aren't meant to be an alternative to buying beef from the farmers market, bringing it home, and spending the evening cooking a nutritious meal. Premade frozen packaged vegan meals are meant to be an alternative to premade frozen packaged nonvegan meals.

They're food for those of us who have "even using the microwave is pushing it" kind of days so we have something to eat. They make veganism more accessible for disabled people, for people who have very busy lives, for people who are picky eaters and need substitutes for safe foods like chicken nuggets and grilled cheese.

I would love to be able to eat healthy, nutritious meals cooked fresh every day, but sometimes I'll be in enough pain that getting out of bed at all is hard enough. Cooking isn't an option on days like that, so I'm gonna toss a plant based hotdog in the microwave so I have food in my body.

[eatmangoesnekkid]

Check in on any packaged foods you eat, meals prepared for you by other people, food that you can't seem to get enough of, those addictive brands and restaurant foods, especially anything marketed as "healthy." "Organic" canned foods. "Healthy" potato chips. Bio frozen foods. The focaccia bread. The vegan take-out. Everything carries a frequency. Oftentimes the stuff we eat and think is healthy actually isn't and can influence us our addiction to it. Too much sugar, salt, seed oils, or artificial flavors mask the hurt and pain baked into the food and wreck our creative power and potential. The energy and value of modern prepared food is often more life-draining than life-giving and it's not only a quality of the obvious stuff. It's the less-than-obvious that we have to check in on and get clear about. Not tuning into the food we eat could be the reason we are constantly emotionally up and down, easily triggered, and lacking vigor, inspiration, or real energy. Our bodies are possessed. If you are not cooking from scratch, infusing your love, sweetness, sensuality and other forms of erotic energy into the food which raises the frequency of what is being ingested, then your energy could be heavily influenced by the person, people, factory, or company you've been eating from. One of the lost arts of sensual erotic energy is its alchemical nature, a feel-good essence that transforms lead into platinum gold. When you cook, you are creating more desired energy. Truly tasting flavors can be a completely sensuous experience. You can be deeply penetrated by simply tasting your soup while adding more spices. That's because sensuality is literally everywhere. It is the river we can sink into and see what else flows from it. Being in your body, smiling into your food and singing joyfully while chopping ingredients actually add more nutritional value into your meal, supporting your body or the bodies of your loved ones. But if you must eat packaged or canned foods or order take-out, be sure to take your time as you sincerely pray over every meal. --India Ame'ye, Author

Get creative with veggie burgers

Check out my latest column

The unofficial start of summer passed last weekend, which means grilling season has begun, at least it has here in the Northeast.

A juicy hamburger, a perfectly cooked steak, ribs, BBQ chicken or grilled hot dogs come to mind most often when one thinks of grilling or barbecue. However, if you have guests who are vegetarian or vegan, these menu items simply won’t do. A mass-produced packaged veggie burger is what most of us think is all that’s available to serve them.

With plant-based diets on the rise, we need to be creative in what to offer at a barbecue get-together. There are freshly made options available at the ready food counter at markets, and there is a bounty of delectable recipes to prepare at home.

As I have been trying to incorporate more vegetables in my diet, when dining out, trying chef-driven innovative varieties of veggie burgers is part of the fun. Those that don’t make the mark are when the restaurant purchases them ready-made and frozen. The times I have really enjoyed one, the chef put creative thought into the dish.

I am always on the lookout for tasty recipes for veggie burgers. When I saw the front cover of “Veggie Burgers Every Which Way: Fresh, Flavorful & Healthy Plant-Based Burgers” by Lucas Volger (2023, The Experiment, $25.95), I got hungry looking at the beautiful and hearty burger.

What also caught my attention was the back cover that says, “Veggie burgers for veggie lovers and curious carnivores alike.”

In his preface the author writes, “I’ve never been very excited about a veggie burger that tastes like meat. My perspective in this book was, and continues to be, that veggie burgers should be creative expressions of vegetables.”

Interestingly, the vegans I know are not interested nor excited about Beyond or Impossible burgers because they, too, aren’t looking for the texture and taste of  meat. On the other hand, there are carnivores that choose to go meatless every so often and replace a meat burger with something that closely replicates it.

Once considered a hippie food … where did the creation begin? As with most food items or dishes, there are a few claims as to its founding. There’s one that was mentioned several times in my research.

It was in London in 1982 when Gregory Sams, a nutritionist, invented the first commercially made veggie burger he called VegeBurger. It was a dry mix packet. Fast-forward several decades, and the humble veggie burger has been elevated.

Volger’s book, with unique, delicious recipes tailored to a variety of diets (over half are vegan and/or gluten free), will excite each palate and suit every craving at this summer’s barbecues. The book is all-encompassing, with chapters on bean and grain burgers; vegetable burgers; tofu, seitan and TVP burgers; burger buns; sides; salads and fries; condiments and toppings. Volger also shares his universally fail-safe cooking methods.

So, move over freezer patties and faux meats and welcome Baked Falafel Burgers (recipe below); Spicy Peanut and Carrot Burgers (recipe below); Quinoa, Red Bean and Walnut Burgers (recipe at  https://bit.ly/3Vipgo4); Sesame Sweet Potato and Cabbage Burgers; Corn Burgers With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese; Tofu and Chard Burgers; and Tortilla-Crusted Stuffed Portobello Burgers.

Baked Falafel Burgers

Vegan, gluten free

Makes four 4-inch burgers

The headnote says: “In this falafel method, the chickpeas are soaked overnight but not cooked. (If we were deep-frying the burgers rather than baking them, this would be the traditional falafel method.) Store-bought falafel mixes — many of which are wonderful — use ground, unsoaked dried beans, but I find that the soaking makes for a significantly less dense, more tender falafel. The mixture is a bit more delicate than other burgers in this book, but you’ll be amazed at how vibrant the flavors are, how the parsley and lemon shine through. Serve with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce, Tahini Yogurt Sauce or plain tahini along with a squirt of sriracha, as a nod to the street food that fed me throughout my college years. Unfortunately, cooked chickpeas will not work in this recipe; there will be too much liquid and the burgers will fall apart as they cook.”

Ingredients:

1 cup dried chickpeas, rinsed thoroughly

1 onion, roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves

½ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

Zest of 1 lemon plus juice of ½

1 tablespoon toasted cumin seeds

½ teaspoon baking soda (GF)

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon chickpea or all-purpose flour, if needed

Olive oil, for greasing

Directions:

Cover the chickpeas with 4 to 5 inches of water in a bowl and let stand for 24 hours. Drain thoroughly. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and juice, cumin, baking soda, salt, pepper and cayenne in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely combined. If the mixture is struggling to come together, add a bit of water, but no more than 2 tablespoons. (The burgers will fall apart when cooking if there’s too much liquid.) If water is added, stir in the chickpea flour. Adjust seasonings. Shape into 6 patties, about 1/3 cup each. It will be a fairly wet dough.

Liberally oil a baking sheet. Transfer the patties to the baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them once halfway through, until golden and firm. Serve warm.

Spicy Peanut and Carrot Burgers. Peanut butter and a few fragrant aromatics serve to amplify and enhance the carrot, making this another one of those veggie burgers that’s all about the vegetables. (Photo by Christina Heaston)

Spicy Peanut and Carrot Burgers

Makes four 6-inch burgers

The headnote says: “This recipe helped me realize that coarsely shredding hardy vegetables, like carrots, is the secret to creating a vegetable-centric veggie burger — it preserves more of a vegetable’s texture than, say, roasting and puréeing it, and moreover it gives an interesting and varied texture to the finished burger. Peanut butter and a few fragrant aromatics serve to amplify and enhance the carrot, making this another one of those veggie burgers that’s all about the vegetables. A natural peanut butter will deliver a clean peanut flavor, whereas a processed one that has added sugar will be kind of cloying here. I love these paired with a zesty cabbage slaw or some shredded cabbage that’s tossed with a bit of salt and lime juice.”

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

1 serrano chile pepper, finely chopped (and seeded, if desired)

4 cups grated carrots (about 8 medium carrots)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground coriander

¾ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 egg

2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

Zest of 1 lime and juice of ½

¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro

½ cup panko or coarse bread crumbs

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, lidded sauté pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, salt, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are soft but not mushy.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, peanut butter, lime zest and juice. Stir in the carrot mixture and the cilantro. Fold in the panko. Let stand for about 10 minutes, so the panko soaks up some of the moisture. Adjust seasonings. Shape into 4 patties, about 1/3 cup each.

To cook, warm a wide skillet over medium heat, then add the remaining oil. Add as many burgers as will fit comfortably without crowding the pan (usually 3 burgers will fit into a 10-inch, and cook until browned and crisped on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side. The burgers will firm up a bit as they cook, and further once they’re removed from the heat and have cooled slightly. Serve warm.

Watermelon and Citrus Salad. Make this salad when watermelon is at its peak, sugar-sweet and juicy. (Photo by Evi Abeler)

Watermelon and Citrus Salad

Vegan, gluten free

Makes 4 servings

The headnote says: “Make this salad when watermelon is at its peak, sugar-sweet and juicy. I prefer basil to the fresh mint typically used in watermelon salad, but feel free to use mint instead.”

Ingredients:

Vinaigrette:

¼ cup fresh orange juice

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar

Mustard

1 shallot, sliced into rings

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions:

To make the vinaigrette, combine the orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt and pepper in a small bowl or jar. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Salad:

2 oranges

6 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

¾ cup thinly sliced fresh basil

½ cup toasted sliced or slivered almonds

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Olive oil, for drizzling

Directions:

Slice off the top and bottom ends of the oranges and place the flat bottom on a cutting board. With a sharp chef ’s knife, cut off the peel in strips all the way around the orange, following the curve of the fruit. Slice the oranges into ¼-inch-thick rounds.

Arrange the watermelon and orange over a platter, then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Just before serving, garnish with the basil, almonds and feta cheese, if using, and drizzle with olive oil.

How Innovation Is Reshaping the Food Industry

Food innovation refers to introducing novel ideas, products, and technologies that change how society produces, processes, packages, distributes, and consumes food. It goes beyond merely creating new recipes or flavors - food innovation encompasses advances in agriculture, food science, sustainability, and packaging. The goal is to enhance efficiency, safety, nutrition, and the overall consumer experience.

The need for food innovation arises from the ever-changing demands of consumers and the pressing challenges faced by the industry. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for food. Additionally, sustainability concerns, climate change, and limited resources prompt exploring alternative food growing and production methods. Innovations in food aim to enhance food security, minimize environmental impact, and offer consumers healthier, more diverse options.

Food innovation occurs through a combination of research, collaboration, and creativity. Scientists, entrepreneurs, farmers, and food industry professionals work together to develop new technologies and processes. Research institutions and startups play a crucial role in conducting experiments, testing new concepts, and bringing innovative products to the market.

In recent years, the food industry has witnessed groundbreaking innovations reshaping how people interact with food. The plant-based movement has gained immense traction, with plant-based alternatives for meat, dairy, and seafood becoming mainstream. Companies have developed plant-based burgers, vegan cheeses, and sustainable seafood alternatives using cutting-edge technologies. Beyond plant-based options, innovations have also focused on alternative protein sources, such as insect-based proteins and lab-grown meats, offering sustainable and protein-rich alternatives.

Swedish startup Mycorena is boosting microbial protein production through its fungi-based mycoprotein called Promyc. This ingredient can be used to create meat and tuna alternatives, beverage additives, and dessert ingredients, offering plant-based and sustainable options for consumers.

Finnish startup Onego Bio has developed a product genetically identical to egg whites using fermentation, and without using actual chickens. It uses precision fermentation of a microflora called Trichoderma reesei to produce ovalbumin, the protein found in chicken egg whites. This technology offers a sustainable and animal-friendly alternative for various food applications, including baked goods, desserts, sauces, and dressings.

Companies like New Culture are incorporating animal-free casein into their cheeses through precision fermentation. This breakthrough allows them to produce animal-free mozzarella cheese, offering a delicious and cruelty-free alternative to traditional dairy products.

In addition, consumers increasingly seek transparency in food choices, leading to the clean label movement. Brands are responding by using simple natural ingredients and avoiding artificial additives and preservatives.

Breakthrough innovations in the food industry are revolutionizing how society grows, produces, and consumes food, focusing on sustainability, nutrition, and convenience. One such innovation is plastic-free and smart packaging. Food companies are exploring biodegradable and even edible packaging solutions in response to environmental concerns. Smart packaging using nanotechnology is also gaining popularity, allowing consumers to assess food safety and quality easily.

The Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture employs sensors and data analytics for optimizing crop conditions, irrigation, and pest control, reducing resource usage. Food waste reduction solutions, such as surplus food redistribution platforms, are being developed to combat the global food waste crisis. Moreover, biotechnology and data science advances enable personalized nutrition, tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and health goals. These innovations promise a more sustainable, healthier, and efficient food future.

Food innovation is driving a remarkable transformation in the food industry, responding to the challenges and opportunities of today. From new plant-based products to sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge technologies, the future of food promises to be more diverse, nutritious, and sustainable. As consumers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders continue to embrace innovation, the food industry's journey toward a more resilient and conscious future is set to continue.

Do you have any tips on being vegan while traveling in another country? I'm visiting Portugal and Spain this summer, have never been out of the u.s. and basically only know English. Have done a bit of research on typically plant based common menu options, found many vegan/vegan friendly restaurants in the bigger cities we're visiting, and planning to use translation app when buying groceries, but anything I'm missing? (Or any special vegan treats i could find in Europe and not the u.s., for that matter?)

I’ve found the HappyCow app to be invaluable when travelling, never been to a US or European city that doesn’t have plenty of options listed. Even if you’re somewhere a bit more rural, you can always opt for renting an apartment you can cook in, which tends to be cheaper than a hotel anyway.

As for generally navigating veganism there, do learn some key phrases, how to reserve a table, how to order, learn the translations of milk, cheese, meat etc. and all your pleasantries. In the big cities people tend to respond to you in English anyway when they hear your accent but they appreciate the effort and can overcome any communication barriers.

As for treats, find a supermarket or a health market (there are a few European versions of these) and just try what they’ve got - they often tell you they’re vegan on the packaging in English. HappyCow will show you local restaurants, and many will offer veganised versions of local food which you should definitely try. Search by vegetarian and vegan friendly as opposed to exclusively vegan, then you’ll get a larger range. There are loads of options in Lisbon and Madrid but can’t speak for anywhere else.

The difficulty you may encounter that you may expect less is tea and coffee rather than food. You can always go to a chain of course but I’m still always surprised that plant milks aren’t as widely available in some European cities as they are in the UK and US, so know how to ask for them or just order it black if you don’t mind it that way. You can get plant milk in plenty of cafes but you can’t just expect it to be a available everywhere like you can here in the UK and many parts of the US.

I can’t emphasise enough how worthwhile it is to spend some time studying the languages though, you obviously can’t learn it in a short space but it’s definitely polite and so worthwhile to get a few basics down. Just don’t arrive knowing no Spanish or Portuguese as it is generally considered quite rude and people may be less likely to help you out with your ordering. Have a good time!

West African countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Mali and Ghana are now sought-after for their largely unexplored cuisine. The international community has started to recognize the region’s vibrant and healthy ingredients and flavours that could rival that of South-East Asia. West African cuisine is spicy, wholesome and ideal for one-pot dishes that perfectly resonates with the current demand in the food industry. This emerging cuisine is believed to be the next big thing this year and could even surpass Indian food as the new takeaway choice of many.

West African cuisine and innovation

With the number of innovation in the open food markets on the rise, more and more international brands are starting to adopt West African techniques, flavours and combining these with their own. Product innovation includes some key ingredients used in most West African dishes like cassava, okra, plantain, moringa, kola nuts, yam, beans, sorghum, peanuts, ginger, scotch bonnet chillies, and fonio.

Even with the increasing number of people converting to different dietary changes and restrictions, West African cuisine does not seem fazed, thanks to their mainly plant-based and gluten-free dishes. Vegans and vegetarians can still enjoy a big serving of a West-African dish minus the guilt.

West African Cuisine becoming more accessible to the international scene

The rise of some renowned kitchen superstars from West Africa helped in the introduction of West African cuisines to the international food community in the UK and other western countries. The Ghanaian born Zoe Adjonyoh, for example, led the change in raising awareness on the diverse cuisines of her home country by starting her business and writing a book with the same name Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen.

Another notable woman, an ambassador for West African cuisine, a cooking instructor, a published author, business mentor and an advocate for women in leadership, Ebere Akadiri, brought West African cuisine into the Netherlands with her ‘Vibrant West African Cuisine” cooking workshops, video course, packaged signature spice blends and a cookbook entitled Vibrant West African Cuisine. Her brand “Ataro” changed the narratives in the Netherlands even before West African Cuisine became a trend in Europe.

The owner of the first ever Nigerian fine dining restaurant with a Michelin star in the UK, Ikovi, used traditional Nigerian ingredients and combined them with the contemporary techniques used in the West and the result was a new and exciting fusion of flavours that appealed to the European market.

There is a growing opportunity in Europe for emerging cuisines like that of West Africa. The ingredients are natural and easy to find, can be elaborately and paired merely with contemporary cooking methods used in the West and there is a growing number of people craving for an innovative, safe and tasty food adventure.

I keep accidently buying vegan sweets because they make the fact that they're vegan kind of subtle on the packaging. The problem with this is that a lot of vegan sweets lately use coconut sugar and i can't eat coconut.

I just... i didn't think i had to check the ingredients on the chocolate bars i bought because they weren't coconut flavored.

This food intolerance has been making shopping harder and harder lately, as coconut water/oil/sugar seems to be getting progressively more popular.

Also people at the farmers market get so annoyed with me when i ask if their stuff has coconut in it, then decline to sample their wares when it does. I know i don't have an actual allergy, but it makes me feel sick. Why do ppl get mad when folks don't want to eat something? (They get mad at people with allergies too)

I can only pray that celery doesn't become the next super popular food.

The Steaks Are High

I remember all too well that time in the early-1970s when there was a spike in the price of beef. My Dad the Accountant was also the primary shopper in the family, and he knew the price of every grocery product in Chicagoland. Well, it seemed like he did, because back when gas was cheap, it was actually prudent to cherry-pick a few items here, a few more there, and so forth. In the end, the cupboards and refrigerator were filled.

But the price of beef scared him into a new reality, because he could not find anyone with what he saw as a competitive price. Instead, he had read about some newfangled soybean burgers that were packed in protein, cost less than beef, and were quite possibly the future of dining.

He bought some, and I can still recall the taste of cardboard. They were horrible, not even close to the real deal. It was also the first time I had ever knowingly encountered soybeans as food, which was ironic because our house sat right at the edge of a soybean farm on the far southern reaches of Chicagoland. I had no clue what they used them for.

Skip forward to the 1990s, and food science had done a complete makeover on what we now know as veggie burgers (thank you, marketing!). They actually tasted pretty good, and when dressed properly, were a reasonable substitute. If you were vegan, vegetarian, an ethical consumer, or just wanting to try something different, they were legit.

More recently, Beyond and Impossible have introduced the best versions of meat substitutes yet. They are truly lab foods, and are now reaching ubiquity in supermarkets and restaurants. The mouth feel, the redness, even the juices spilling forth, are the closest approximations yet of a beef burger on the grill. They are so close that the cattle industry is rightfully a little nervous, and in some states, their lobbying groups have pushed for legislation regulating basic food terms, such as “meat,” “beef,” and others. Gotta keep those consumers from becoming confused, you know.

Lab foods require over-the-top marketing, though. It’s one thing to buy a garment made from a different fabric, or any number of other consumables. But when it comes to the things we put in our mouth, you better be careful. I recall my ultra cycling years, primarily the 1980s and 1990s, but a little into this century. If you wanted to be competitive, you had to consume sports nutrition on the fly. This meant no burgers and burritos, because they can do a stomach bad when racing. Food scientists, though, came through and brought us innovative products like Ultra Energy, which they touted as being ���pre-digested.”

Now if there is any word or phrase that can turn a stomach, it is “pre-digested.” It just sounds bad. Never mind it simply meant the powdered concoction, once reconstituted with water, would be absorbed quickly within the body, allowing for a continuous source of energy. Drink one of these every hour (550 calories), and you’ll be able to go day and night.

It still sounded like yuck, and we all called it Ultra Eulogy. Where were the marketers when they needed it? The name was good, but the other print on the package was a death wish as far as branding goes. Today, manufacturers such as Hammer Nutrition have worked out the kinks as well as the taste, and they skip all the nasty verbiage and focus instead on the results.

Which brings me to the dinner table finally, and the talk last week about lab-grown meat is once again making headlines. It is coming soon, thanks to a new FDA ruling giving it the green light. It’s just that, once again, the food scientists have been doing all the business planning.

Even out here in West Texas, people are OK with some folks eating Beyond and Impossible. You can find them everywhere. But lab-grown meat? That might just be taking things too far. Cattle ranchers know that the vegans and vegetarians among us will likely always be just a small percentage of the population, and even the others who want to try one occasionally are a blip on the radar.

But these new “meats” will be aimed squarely at carnivores, meaning that all those ranchers and feedlot owners will be shaking in their boots far more than any veggie burger might make them uneasy.

The arguments in favor of lab meat are multiple. The meats, which are cultivated from animal cells, can be produced without ethical consideration of creatures crammed into small pens. The carbon footprint is much smaller, right down to the fact it takes six pounds of feed to produce one pound of beef at the feedlot. And let’s not forget the unpleasant smell, which some folks around here argue is the smell of money. It’s at that time I invoketh Shakespeare. “Cow poop by any other name would smell as pungent.” Or something like that.

In case you’re wondering, lab-grown meat is not a total panacea, because vegans and vegetarians still will not eat it, because animal cells. But will the other 95%? It’s going to take some serious marketing to take the lab out of the lab-grown meat so that people feel like they are eating something good, about as much of a challenge those soybean burger makers faced in the 70s.

Consumers don’t have to worry just yet about mistaking it at the supermarket—that time will come, though—but these new products will start appearing in restaurants. And you know what? You might not even know it. Heck, it took federal legislation a few years ago to force chains with 20 or more units to list calorie counts on menu items. Do you think a restaurant is going to put the word “lab” anywhere on the menu?

I think not.

And you thought that GMO foods was a big deal. I am betting that lab meat will elicit howls of disapproval across the country, especially in cattle-rich West Texas. It’s one thing to make the vegans and vegetarians happy, but it is quite another to let a bunch of scientists start whittling away at your livelihood, the one thing for which this part of Texas is best known.

Heck, they may as well just have a 72-ounce tofu challenge over at the Big Texan. That idea, while offered in jest, is about as under-cooked as the lab meat coming our way. At least for now.

Diet Tracker Mobile App

In today’s health-conscious world, diet tracking apps have become an essential tool for individuals striving to achieve their fitness, weight management, and nutritional goals. A well-designed diet tracker app is more than just a digital food diary; it acts as a personal nutrition coach, providing users with insights into their eating habits, helping them stay motivated, and guiding them toward healthier choices. To stand out in a crowded market, a diet tracker app must offer a seamless, user-friendly experience, tailored recommendations, and an engaging design.

User-Centric Design: Simplicity and Accessibility

The core function of any diet tracker app is logging food intake, which needs to be as simple and frictionless as possible. Users should be able to quickly input their meals with minimal effort. An intuitive interface with clean, modern design elements ensures that users can navigate the app easily, without being overwhelmed by unnecessary details.

The app’s homepage should feature a quick log option, allowing users to input food with just a few taps. Pre-set categories such as "Breakfast," "Lunch," "Dinner," and "Snacks" make it easy for users to track their meals throughout the day. To streamline the process further, the app can incorporate a barcode scanner, enabling users to scan packaged food products for automatic logging. A smart search feature should also allow users to find foods by name, and the app can store frequently eaten items for quick future entry.

In terms of accessibility, the app should be optimized for all users, including those with visual impairments or disabilities. Features such as large, clear fonts, voice input, and color contrast adjustments can improve inclusivity and make the app easier to use for everyone.

Personalization and Goal Setting

One of the most powerful aspects of a diet tracker app is its ability to offer personalized insights. During the onboarding process, users should input their personal information — such as age, weight, height, activity level, and specific goals (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain, maintaining a healthy diet). Based on this data, the app can generate daily calorie recommendations, macro breakdowns (carbs, protein, and fat), and nutrient targets (fiber, vitamins, etc.).

The app can also allow users to set specific dietary preferences or restrictions. For example, someone following a vegan diet or avoiding gluten should be able to receive tailored meal suggestions and nutrition advice. Additionally, the app should track users’ progress toward their goals, providing visual representations such as graphs and charts to help them stay motivated.

For added personalization, AI-driven features can recommend foods or meals based on the user’s dietary patterns, preferences, and goals. For instance, if the app detects that a user often falls short of their protein intake, it can suggest high-protein snacks or recipes.

Engaging and Interactive Features

To keep users engaged, the app can include a variety of interactive and motivating features. Gamification elements, such as streaks, achievement badges, or daily challenges, can help maintain user interest over time. For example, users could earn rewards for logging their food consistently for a week or hitting their daily nutrient targets.

Integrating social features can also enhance engagement. Users can share their progress with friends, join community groups, or even participate in diet challenges with others. A built-in meal-sharing feature, where users post their meal plans or recipes, can create a sense of community and inspire healthier habits.

Comprehensive Nutritional Insights

The app should go beyond basic calorie counting and provide users with in-depth nutritional information. In addition to calories, the app can display macronutrient and micronutrient breakdowns for each meal. Users should be able to track their intake of key vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, which is particularly useful for those managing specific health conditions or following strict diets.

A built-in food diary with visual representations, such as pie charts or bar graphs, can help users understand their eating habits better. Over time, the app can analyze this data to offer personalized tips, such as suggesting more fiber-rich foods or advising users to reduce their sugar intake.

For users looking to plan their meals ahead of time, a meal planning feature allows them to create and store meal plans for the week. This can be especially useful for individuals trying to maintain a balanced diet or prepare for specific fitness goals.

Mobile Optimization and Voice Integration

As mobile devices are the primary medium for tracking food intake, the app must be fully optimized for mobile use. This includes ensuring that the app runs smoothly, with fast loading times and a responsive interface. Features such as quick food logging, push notifications, and real-time goal tracking should be accessible from any mobile device.

To make food tracking even more effortless, the app can integrate with voice assistants like Google Assistant or Siri. Users could log their meals or snacks by simply speaking to their device, eliminating the need for manual input.

Data Security and Privacy

Given the sensitive nature of the data users share with a diet tracker app, ensuring privacy and security is crucial. The app should offer robust data protection, including encrypted data storage and secure logins (such as two-factor authentication). Users should be informed about how their data is used and have the ability to control what information is shared with third parties.

Additionally, the app should include privacy settings that allow users to adjust who can view their activity or progress, especially if the app includes social features.

Integration with Fitness Apps and Devices

To provide a holistic view of health, the diet tracker app should seamlessly integrate with popular fitness apps and devices. Syncing with apps like Apple Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit allows users to view their exercise data alongside their dietary intake, providing a more complete picture of their overall health.

By syncing with wearable devices, the app can also adjust calorie recommendations based on daily activity levels, ensuring that users have accurate nutritional targets whether they’re active or sedentary.

Conclusion

Designing a diet tracker mobile app requires a balance between simplicity, functionality, and personalization. By offering an intuitive interface, personalized nutritional guidance, and engaging features like gamification and social sharing, the app can become an essential tool for users on their health journey. With a focus on mobile optimization, data security, and integration with fitness devices, a well-designed diet tracker app not only helps users achieve their goals but also keeps them motivated and engaged along the way.

The Global Snack Bar Market is projected to grow from USD 4888.2 million in 2024 to USD 6877.35 million by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 4.36% from 2024 to 2032.

Snack bars have become a staple in the modern diet, offering a convenient and often nutritious option for people on the go. These portable, ready-to-eat bars are typically composed of a blend of ingredients like oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and sweeteners, often fortified with added protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals to enhance their nutritional profile. Originally popularized as a quick energy boost for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, snack bars have evolved to appeal to a broader audience, including busy professionals, students, and health-conscious consumers seeking a balanced snack between meals. The market for snack bars has expanded significantly, driven by increasing consumer demand for healthier snack options that fit into their active lifestyles.

One of the key factors contributing to the popularity of snack bars is their versatility. They are available in a wide variety of flavors and formulations, catering to different dietary needs and preferences. For instance, there are snack bars designed for specific purposes, such as protein bars for muscle recovery, fiber-rich bars for digestive health, and low-sugar bars for those managing their carbohydrate intake. Additionally, the rise of dietary trends like veganism, gluten-free, keto, and paleo has led to the development of specialized snack bars that cater to these specific diets, further expanding the market.

The convenience factor cannot be overstated, as snack bars offer an easy solution for those who need a quick, portable source of energy without compromising on nutrition. They are commonly found in vending machines, convenience stores, grocery aisles, and online platforms, making them accessible to a wide range of consumers. Moreover, the packaging of snack bars is often designed to be durable and portable, enhancing their appeal as an on-the-go snack.

The snack bar market is driven by several key factors that contribute to its growth and popularity:

Increasing Health Consciousness: As consumers become more aware of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, there is a growing demand for convenient, nutritious snacks. Snack bars, particularly those rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, are perceived as a healthier alternative to traditional snack foods like chips and candy. This health-conscious trend is driving the development and consumption of snack bars that cater to various dietary needs, such as low-sugar, high-protein, and gluten-free options.

Busy Lifestyles and Convenience: The modern, fast-paced lifestyle has significantly contributed to the rise of the snack bar market. Consumers are increasingly seeking convenient, on-the-go food options that can be easily consumed between meals or as a quick meal replacement. Snack bars fit this need perfectly, offering a portable, ready-to-eat solution that doesn't compromise on taste or nutrition, making them a popular choice for busy professionals, students, and athletes.

Diverse Product Offerings: The snack bar market has expanded to include a wide variety of products catering to different tastes, preferences, and dietary requirements. From protein bars for fitness enthusiasts to energy bars for outdoor activities, and from vegan to keto-friendly options, the diversity in product offerings has made snack bars appealing to a broad consumer base. This variety allows brands to target niche markets while also attracting a wider audience.

Rising Popularity of Functional Foods: Consumers are increasingly looking for foods that offer more than just basic nutrition, seeking out functional foods that provide specific health benefits. Snack bars often incorporate functional ingredients like superfoods, probiotics, and adaptogens, which are marketed for their health-enhancing properties. This trend is driving innovation in the snack bar market, with brands developing products that promise benefits like improved energy, better digestion, and enhanced mental clarity.

Growth of E-commerce and Direct-to-Consumer Sales: The rise of e-commerce has played a significant role in the growth of the snack bar market. Online sales platforms allow consumers to easily access a wide range of snack bars, including niche and specialty products that may not be available in traditional retail stores. Subscription services that deliver snack bars directly to consumers' doors have also become popular, offering convenience and the opportunity to discover new brands and flavors.

Clean Label and Transparency Trends: There is a growing demand for clean label products, which are made with simple, recognizable ingredients and free from artificial additives, preservatives, and GMOs. Snack bars that emphasize natural and organic ingredients, ethical sourcing, and environmentally friendly packaging resonate with health-conscious consumers who are also concerned about the sustainability and transparency of the products they consume. This trend is pushing brands to be more transparent about their ingredient sourcing and manufacturing processes.

Rise of Plant-Based and Specialty Diets: The increasing popularity of plant-based diets, as well as specialty diets like keto, paleo, and gluten-free, has driven demand for snack bars that cater to these dietary preferences. Brands are responding by developing products that meet the needs of these consumer groups, often using alternative ingredients like plant-based proteins, nut butters, and coconut oil. The growth of these dietary trends is expanding the market for snack bars, making them accessible to a wider range of consumers.

Innovation in Flavors and Textures: To keep consumers engaged and attract new customers, brands are continuously innovating with new flavors, textures, and ingredient combinations. From exotic fruit blends to indulgent dessert-inspired flavors, and from chewy to crunchy textures, these innovations are driving consumer interest and encouraging repeat purchases. The ability to offer a variety of taste experiences within the snack bar category is a key driver of market growth.

Targeted Marketing and Branding: Effective marketing strategies, including endorsements by fitness influencers, social media campaigns, and partnerships with health and wellness brands, are driving consumer awareness and interest in snack bars. Brands that effectively communicate the health benefits, convenience, and taste of their products can build strong customer loyalty and expand their market share.

Sustainability and Ethical Consumerism: The growing consumer focus on sustainability and ethical consumerism is influencing the snack bar market. Brands that prioritize environmentally friendly practices, such as using recyclable packaging or sourcing ingredients from sustainable and ethical suppliers, are gaining favor with eco-conscious consumers. This focus on sustainability not only appeals to consumers but also helps brands differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
