Plant Protein = Demand Creation
Taste is always king and the trend for convenience continues to grow. For example, over half of US consumers spend five minutes or less to prepare breakfast in the morning! And the hectic pace of consumer lifestyles does not appear to be easing up anytime soon, leading to a demand for convenience all day long. In addition, consumers increasingly look for reduced sugar, fiber and whole grains.
