The product features the brand's signature tempeh with its [firm yet juicy texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prepared-tofu), which has been pre-seasoned for versatility. The tempeh boasts 44-grams of protein per pack, while also being a good source of fibre and prebiotics that will make it even more appealing to consumers who are paying more attention to gut health. The tempeh comes in 220-gram packs for £3 that are rolling out to Ocado this month and is perfect for crafting a wide range of recipe this summer. Co-CEO and Co-Founder Elin Roberts spoke on the Better Nature Mediterranean Tempeh block saying, "Gut-friendly protein is hot right now, fuelled by social media and the shift away from UPFs. With consumers prioritising protein as part of a healthier lifestyle, we’re starting to see a shift away from so-so proteins like chicken (that offer nothing but protein) and towards more nutritious proteins like beans and tempeh, which are also packed with gut-friendly fibre and prebiotics." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 43% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gut-health-optimized Foods:** The increasing consumer focus on gut health opens up market space for culinary innovations that deliver functional benefits in everyday diet. - **Pre-seasoned Plant Proteins:** Convenience-driven consumers are seeking plant proteins that come pre-seasoned, offering both ease of use and enhanced flavor profiles. - **Functional Protein Alternatives:** With a growing shift towards nutrient-rich protein options, there's an emerging trend for alternatives that offer more than just muscle-building benefits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plant-based Food Segment:** The demand for versatile plant-based products is impacting traditional meats, promoting innovation in consumer-ready high-protein foods. - **Health-oriented Packaged Goods:** As consumers lean into health and wellness, there's a notable rise in the market for packaged foods offering additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. - **Functional Food Ingredients:** The growing interest in functional ingredients opens up opportunities for advancements in foods that contribute positively to both diet and health. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Juicy Protein-Rich Tempehs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-nature-tempeh.md) - [Chicken Dish-Inspired Tempeh Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peri-peri-tempeh.md) - [Versatile Protein Tempeh Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiba-tempeh.md) - [Smoky Marinade Tempeh Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiba-tempeh-smoky-block.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Tempeh Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempeh-cubes.md) - [Whole-Bean Protein Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiba-tempeh-protein-bites.md) - [Versatile Plant-Based Protein Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-super-superfood.md) - [Traditional Indonesian Tempeh Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indonesian-tempeh.md) - [Convenient Chickpea Tempehs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/franklin-farms-2.md)
