The August 2020 food trends point to new and improved flavor options but also to how technology is being utilized in the space and it is quite impressive.
3D-printing has surely become a go-to process for ensuring meat and seafood alternatives meet the expectations for sustainability. Redefine Meat, for example, has engineered Alt-Steak which is made with plant-based products and has been tested by high-end chefs. Legendary Vish, on the other hand, debuts a 3D-printed realistic salmon made from mushroom and pea protein. KFC is also embracing these ventures by partnering up with 3D Bioprinting Solutions to create lab-grown chicken.
Another ground-breaking innovation from the August 2020 food category pertains to packaging. In this space, Holly Ground designed edible packaging that can dissolve into instant noodle broth. This has implications not only for convenience and flavoring but also for sustainability in the production process.
