Drastic changes have become part of our daily lives, especially with the uncertain times we have lived during the past two years. Changes in the way we work, socialize, study, complete our regular habits, and even how we eat. This last one has resulted in more and more people choosing healthier foods that align with their nutritional needs.
At Sabroso™, we are aware of these evolving changes, and in addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle, our products are designed to meet the needs of today’s consumers. Here are some of the food trends that we see strengthening in 2022:
1. Plant-based foods
We have all heard of vegan and vegetarian foods. However, until a few years ago, the term plant-based has gained strength. Following a plant-based diet does not mean that you are vegan or vegetarian, but rather that most of your food comes from plants (fruits, vegetables, and seeds) (Katherine D. McManus, 2021). Yes, you must eat your veggies! Was the first image that came to your mind a flat plate of vegetables? well, it doesn’t have to be that “flat.” You can find nutritious and delicious dishes made with vegetables and fruits full of flavour in our recipe section! Many of our products are plant-based; not only do our fruits and vegetables have this feature. We also have other excellent plant-based alternatives such as Arepas, Snacks, and the newest addition, Pre-Cooked Corn Meal.
2. Gluten-free options
The famous gluten has become the enemy of many in recent years. It is well known that gluten affects many people’s health, going from fatigue to celiac disease in severe cases. It is very common to find plenty of gluten-free products at the grocery store. At Sabroso™, this is something we take very seriously. We offer gluten-free options as we want our consumers to enjoy our products without fear of side effects. Even our new Bakery line is gluten-free. Can you imagine eating some delicious buñuelos / cheese fritters with no fear that gluten will affect your health? Well, now it is possible.
3. Nutrition first
During the season of New Year’s resolutions and new habits, nutrition is also entering the game. Nutrition plays a vital role in 2022. Consumers are aware of what their bodies and minds need, from drinking 2 or more liters of water a day, meditating, or exercising to taking vitamins and eating healthier. People are changing the culture of diets for intuitive eating, which means eating when your body is hungry and stopping when you are full (Nazario, 2021). Getting to know our bodies leads to a more balanced diet incorporating all the nutrients our body needs. Nutrients come from the digestive process of the foods we eat. As a result, the quality of your food determines the quality of your nutrients. We are very conscious of this, and that is why our products are 100% natural and of the best quality. In addition to not having added sugar or colourants, we use the IQF process for packaging. It ensures that our products maintain their goodness and nutrition, keeping their shape, colour, smell, and flavour after defrosting.
Note: We recommend you do a general checkup with your physician to determine the best foods for your body.
4. Simplicity and good for the environment
Technological innovation and rapid adaptation to new times have led people to seek the immediacy factor in their day-to-day life. In today’s world, people do more activities with just a few clicks. Grocery shopping in the supermarket has evolved so much that now we can have our products without leaving home, and they arrive quickly at our doorstep. How cool is that? People increasingly seek simplicity in daily actions to have more time for what is most important. Before, it was customary to spend 2 hours or more cooking. Now, with so many options out there, we can make dinner in only 15 minutes.
At Sabroso™, we strive to evolve and innovate in the same way by creating products with Smart Simplicity. For instance, our vegetable line is pre-cooked, ready to prepare, grill or bake. No peeling, no waste, no mess! You won’t have to spend hours peeling and cooking cassava. We have done it for you, and the best part: none of our products lose their properties and nutritious features. Our new bakery line is packaged in a resealable pouch bag, which eliminates the need to use plastic to wrap each unit individually. The size of the bag requires less space in your fridge, which saves you both energy and space.
Sabroso™ prides itself on its products and their quality. We aim high to provide the best taste and the best home dining experience with our selection of natural food products to satisfy the current food trends in Canada.
