In terms of appearance, the [meat-free Breakfast Sausage Links](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quorn-meat-alternatives) truly do look a lot like real meat sausages. However, where they differ in composition is that these sausages are made from a blend of ingredients like Mycoprotein, canola oil, onion, pea fiber and starch, plus rehydrated egg whites—the only thing that keeps these from being vegan. Infused with a variety of herbs and spices like sage, nutmeg, bay, cardamom, coriander and marjoram, you can be sure that these sausages don't skimp on flavor even though they are made without real meat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Meat-free Protein Sources:** The popularity of Quorn's Vegetarian Breakfast Sausages highlights a trend towards meat-free protein sources that mimic the taste and texture of meat-based products. - **Healthy Fast Food Alternatives:** Quorn's focus on offering healthy, low-fat, and low-calorie meal options for all times of day presents an opportunity for the fast food industry to incorporate meat-free alternatives into their menu. - **Herb and Spice Infused Foods:** The use of a variety of herbs and spices in Quorn's Vegetarian Breakfast Sausages showcases a trend towards flavor-infused meat-free products that can stand on their own with bold and unique flavors. ### Where This Applies - **Vegetarian Food Products:** The success of Quorn's Vegetarian Breakfast Sausages highlights an opportunity for the vegetarian food products industry to create more meat-free options that look, taste, and feel like real meat products. - **Fast Food Industry:** Quorn's healthy and flavorful vegetarian options offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fast food industry to expand their menu with meat-free alternatives that appeal to health-conscious consumers. - **Spice and Seasoning Industry:** The trend towards flavor-infused meat-free products creates a space for the spice and seasoning industry to innovate and create unique flavor blends that can be incorporated into a variety of plant-based products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheesy Breakfast Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-breakfast-hash.md) - [Clean-Label Veggie Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-sausages.md) - [Vegan English-Style Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cumberlandstyle-sausages.md) - [Delectable Vegan Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Lentil-Infused Mushroom Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-sausages.md) - [Juicy Meat-Free Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-plantbased-sausage.md) - [Aromatic Plant-Based Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aromatic-plantbased-sausages.md) - [Mycelium-Based Breakfast Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meati-breakfast-patties.md) - [Vegan Veggie Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-provision.md)
