The products maintain a NutriScore of A, are suited for being used in ready meals and are flash frozen to support long-term freshness for up to 12 months. The Planteneers 'fiildTex' HMEs were showcased by the brand at this year's Plant Based World Expo in London as well as at Fi Europe's fair in Frankfurt in a plant-based kebab dish to showcase their versatility. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 20% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Texture-focused Plant-based Foods:** The Planteneers 'fiildTex' high-moisture extrudates (HME) offer a variety of shapes and sizes to enhance texture in plant-based foods. - **Clean Label Protein-rich Products:** Planteneers 'fiildTex' HMEs are allergen-free, high in protein, and maintain a NutriScore of A, providing clean label options for consumers. - **Flash Frozen Long-term Freshness:** The flash frozen process used for Planteneers 'fiildTex' HMEs helps preserve freshness for up to 12 months, offering convenience and extended shelf life. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plant-based Foods:** The texture-enhancing properties of the Planteneers 'fiildTex' HMEs can benefit the growing plant-based foods industry. - **Food Manufacturing:** Planteneers 'fiildTex' HMEs provide an opportunity for food manufacturers to produce clean label, protein-rich products to meet the demand for plant-based options. - **Frozen Food:** The flash frozen feature of Planteneers 'fiildTex' HMEs presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the frozen food industry, extending freshness and convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functional Affordable Plant-Based Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planteneers-fiildmeat-s-111404-system.md) - [Bean-Based Meat Replacement Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitatex-wheat-fava-flakes-svp-pro.md) - [Texture-Driven Plant-Based Proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naplasol-promyc-mycoprotein-line.md) - [Wholesome Meatless Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-it.md) - [Versatile Chicken-Like Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpha-foods-plantbased-chicken-strips.md) - [Minimal Ingredient Meat Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanbean-products.md) - [Free-From Plant-Based Food Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texturizing-blend.md) - [Plant-Based Meat Texture Additives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiberstar-citrifi-tx20.md) - [Plant-Based Meat Texture Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novozymes-vertera-probite.md)
