Plant-based at its best

For some it’s an ethical choice, for others it’s because of health benefits or the concern about the environment. Whatever the motivation is, vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian lifestyles are becoming increasingly popular. Partly, because more widespread knowledge and well-crafted documentaries help to reassure that plant-based proteins are a sufficient source to balance one’s nutritional needs.

An observant gaze through our supermarket shelves shows proof. The varieties of vegetarian products are on a rise, and there are no signs of slowing down. 

Our solutions can help you turn your product into the consumer’s favourite pick for a healthy snack or complete meal. Improve the taste and colour profile for your vegetarian products and turn plant-based into a delicious alternative with maximum eating enjoyment.

Our solutions

Very Veggie

Vegetarian products taste maker

Taste

Despite being a good nutritional alternative, plant-based foods often lack taste and smell. Without animal fat or protein essentials, the Umami receptors will hardly be triggered and our eating experience will become one-dimensional. 

The naturally sourced taste solutions from Gourmet Ingredients will give your products a palette of flavours without the need for E-numbers. Turn your beetroot burger or vegan cauliflower curry into a culinary bliss with every bite.

Vegetarian products colour

Colour

Plant-based proteins and fats represent a good nutritional alternative but they don’t provide rich colours and smells. To make the eating experience complete for all human senses, vegetarian products often need colour boosting. Otherwise, the restaurant visitor will ask for the check after the first bite into a vegan burger that turns out to be pale inside. 

Onion concentrate can help turn vegan meatballs, burger patties and more into juicy-looking foods with the right tint of brown colour and a unique edge of savoury aroma. Turn veggie into a desirable health choice. Hello, good-looking!
