🌱 LET’S TALK SWEETNESS!
A few weeks ago, PLNT LIFE was at Newtopia Now in Denver, exploring the ideas shaping the future of food. In this video, we’re talking about sugar alternatives and the growing interest in better for you ways to satisfy a sweet tooth. 👀✨
Consumers are paying closer attention to what sweetens their favourite products, looking for recognizable ingredients and considering how their food choices affect blood sugar.
Whole dates are a great example. They bring natural sweetness, a delicious caramel like flavour and naturally occurring fibre to the recipe. They still contain sugar, so portion size and the overall nutritional profile matter.
For brands, this creates an exciting opportunity to rethink recipes, explore thoughtful ingredient choices and deliver the taste consumers love with nutritional value they can understand. 🌿
At PLNT LIFE, we stay close to these conversations to help brands connect consumer interests with meaningful product innovation and opportunities on Canadian shelves.
🎥 Watch our take from Denver and tell us: have you tried swapping refined sugar for dates?
