In 18th-century France, Antoine-Augustin Parmentier sought to promote the consumption of potatoes, which were widely viewed with suspicion. To change public perception, he planted potato fields and stationed armed guards around them during the day, creating an impression of high value. At night, the guards were withdrawn, encouraging locals to "steal" the potatoes.

I don't have enough room for this in oimw but it's important to me that you know that when Joyce finds out that Steve is a Grimm it's in the middle of a v stressful situation so in her head that becomes Part of the Problem and she's trying to figure everything out and rambling out loud to Hopper about how fucked they all are

and eventually it becomes how worried she is about steve not for steve but about steve because she's always seen him as this angry kid and now he's got this power and he doesn't even have his parents to keep him in check and maybe it would be better if they were here even though steve seems kinda afraid of that but maybe that would be a good thing in the long run...

and she doesn't mean anything by it. steve isn't a bad person. probably. he's just an angry kid. the kind she used to be afraid of jonathan becoming. the kind of kid lonnie was. the kind that she's sure she has no ability to handle.

and hopper just kinda looks up from his cup of customary "we're all so fucked" tea and is just like hey. don't talk about my kid like that.

and joyce blinks and well. hop was kind of an angry kid too wasn't he. and moves on to the next problem.

Ava loves textures because she couldn’t feel them from the shoulders down for like 12 years. She loves the scratchy, cheap bedsheets in their Alps apartment. She loves the sand between her toes on the beach.

Sometimes Beatrice will find her just feeling up the flowers in the meadow where they train, soaking up the sun.

Beatrice would be lying if she said she didn’t wear that one extra soft button up shirt that Ava loves to touch.

Frozen Potato Market: Key Strategies for Manufacturers to Capitalize on Emerging Trends and Opportunities

The frozen potato market has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, fueled by shifts in consumer habits and the rising demand for convenient food options. As urbanization accelerates globally, frozen potato products like fries, wedges, and hash browns are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of preparation and long shelf life. This trend presents significant opportunities for manufacturers looking to capitalize on a growing market.

Convenience Food as a Key Market Driver

Convenience is a crucial factor in modern consumer behavior, and frozen potatoes align perfectly with this trend. With increasingly busy lifestyles, consumers seek easy-to-prepare meal options. Frozen potato products, which require minimal preparation and offer quick cooking solutions, appeal to individuals and families looking for fast, yet flavorful meals. Manufacturers can leverage this demand by offering products that cater to busy consumers’ needs.

The Fast-Food Industry: A Catalyst for Growth

The rapid expansion of the fast-food industry has significantly contributed to the growth of the frozen potato market. Fast-food chains, particularly in developing regions, heavily rely on frozen potato products like french fries. As these chains continue to expand globally, the demand for frozen potatoes is expected to increase, providing a reliable and consistent market for manufacturers. Fast-food giants remain key customers for suppliers in this sector.

Product Innovation as a Growth Strategy

Today’s consumers are constantly looking for new and exciting products, creating opportunities for frozen potato manufacturers to innovate. Traditional offerings such as french fries remain popular, but there is growing demand for a broader variety of potato-based products. Manufacturers can attract diverse consumer segments by introducing new flavors, shapes, and healthier alternatives, such as low-fat or gluten-free options. Innovation in product offerings can differentiate brands in a competitive market.

Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing: Addressing Consumer Concerns

Sustainability is an increasing priority for consumers, and frozen potato manufacturers can benefit by adopting eco-friendly practices. Utilizing sustainable packaging, reducing food waste, and ensuring ethical sourcing of potatoes can enhance brand reputation. Consumers are more likely to support companies that prioritize the environment and ethical labor practices, and manufacturers that embrace sustainability can tap into this growing demand.

Advancements in Freezing Technology and Packaging

Technological advancements in freezing processes, such as individual quick freezing (IQF), have improved the quality and texture of frozen potatoes, ensuring they retain their freshness and flavor. For manufacturers, investing in advanced freezing technologies can enhance product quality and extend shelf life, which is essential for gaining consumer trust. Packaging innovations, such as resealable or portion-controlled packs, also add convenience for consumers and improve market appeal.

Emerging Markets: Expanding Opportunities

While North America and Europe are mature markets, regions like Asia-Pacific and Latin America present significant growth opportunities. Rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and changing dietary habits in these areas are increasing the demand for frozen food products, including potatoes. Western fast-food chains expanding into these regions further boost the market. Manufacturers can explore these emerging markets by localizing products to cater to regional preferences.

Health Consciousness: Challenges and Opportunities

Health-conscious consumers often view frozen and processed foods with caution due to concerns about additives, preservatives, and high sodium levels. However, this presents an opportunity for manufacturers to reformulate products and offer healthier options. Low-sodium, low-fat, and gluten-free frozen potato products can attract health-focused consumers. Clear labeling and communication of nutritional benefits, such as high fiber and vitamins, can also help improve consumer perception.

The Importance of Foodservice and Retail Partnerships

Building strong partnerships with food service providers and retailers is essential for frozen potato manufacturers. Fast-food chains, casual dining restaurants, and catering services rely on bulk orders of frozen potato products, making these partnerships critical for long-term success. Similarly, retail channels like supermarkets and e-commerce platforms offer significant opportunities for visibility and sales. Manufacturers can benefit by developing strong relationships with retailers and offering attractive promotions to boost sales.
