Rather than condensing its recipe into a powdered form, Eden created an all-new instant miso that consumers can quickly make from a freeze-dried base. Freeze-drying the miso from fresh ensures that all of the subtleties of the soup's high-quality ingredients are properly captured. Eden is now producing both a Red Miso Soup and a White Miso Soup using traditional ingredients and a format that's highly appealing to time-starved people. In order to prepare these soups, it's as simple as adding eight ounces of water to a single cube. As an on-the-go option, this inventive instant miso eliminates the perils of spilling soup during transportation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Freeze-dried Miso:** The freeze-drying process preserves the flavor and quality of miso soup ingredients, offering an opportunity for companies to explore other freeze-dried food products. - **Instant Soup Cubes:** The convenient format of soup cubes opens up possibilities for other instant soup flavors and variations, providing opportunities for new product development. - **Time-saving Foods:** The demand for quick and easy meal options continues to grow, creating a market for innovative time-saving food products beyond miso soup. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Packaging:** The packaging industry can explore new designs and materials to ensure the convenience and preservation of freeze-dried food products like miso cubes. - **Ready-to-eat Meals:** Companies in the ready-to-eat meals industry can incorporate freeze-dried miso cubes into their product lines, offering customers a flavorful and convenient soup option. - **Health Food:** Health food companies can develop freeze-dried soup cubes that cater to specific dietary needs and preferences, providing nutritious and convenient options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miso Soup Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miso-drops.md) - [Convenient Frozen Soup Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soupologie-souper-cubes.md) - [Instant Matzo Ball Soups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-matzo-ball-soup.md) - [Premium Instant Soups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-instant-soups.md) - [Pour-Over Soups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohaku-drip.md) - [Freeze-Dried Japanese Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayanoya-usa-1.md) - [Freeze-Dried Kimchi Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-block.md) - [Instantly Dissolvable Bouillons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-water-dissolve-bouillon.md) - [Restaurant-Inspired Instant Noodle Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsu-noodles-broth.md)
