Fruit, yogurt and granola are all essential ingredients in making a classic parfait, but Bush Brothers & Co. decided to stay from convention and create an entirely unique parfait recipe with a set of different ingredients for its 'Maple Bean Parfait.'
Naturally, the bean brand's own parfait is made up of alternating layers of plain Greek yogurt and Bush’s Best Bean Pot Maple Baked Beans, a cooked and ready-to-eat bean product.
Salon de l’Alimentation (SIAL) is one of the largest food and beverage shows in the world and recently took place in Paris, France. This year, research presented at the event reveals that the dairy sector is currently the world’s most innovative product category. As many consumers look to diversify their diets, dishes that combine plant and animal proteins like this one are becoming popular.
