Alongside the Food Campus Berlin, I attended the #Essenz in Hannover today. Collaborating with the innovation team from Transgourmet Deutschland GmbH & Co. OHG, we brought the theme of Planetary Health to their flagship fair's Innovation Hub. The day was filled with gamification, digestible knowledge bites, and a direct taste comparison of planetary health principles through the sampling of plant-based vs. non-plant-based dishes. 💡 What was interesting? Compared to more experienced gastronomes and attendees, the younger generation found it harder to correctly identify which options were plant-based and which were not. However, everyone agreed that the plant-based variants were not only tasty but also a desirable choice. ✨ What does this tell us? Taste and our associations with it are learned. For the new generations, plant-based could easily become the “new normal” if it’s presented as a healthy and tasty option. There is a need for more education aimed at current and future chefs to craft delicious plant-based meals and products that are not just alternatives, but possible primary choices. #FoodCampusBerlin #Innovation #PlanetaryHealth #Transgourmet #Essenz Theresa Hingsammer Patric Scordialo
