As the coronavirus pandemic continues, research from the International Food Information council reports 24% of respondents are eating more protein from plant-based sources. It makes sense, as plant-based diets have been linked time and time again to a reduction in all sorts of diseases.

Dietitians have known that there’s something to a diet that has more plants and less animals for some time, and now many more of your customers do, too. Plant-based eating is being affected by today’s themes of inclusivity and breaking boundaries.

That means that chefs are no longer cooking plant-based dishes for a limited audience or limiting choices to just bean burgers and salads. These dishes are for everyone and anyone who wants a shot at improving their health and taking a bite out of their community’s carbon footprint. Food Management dive deeper into the topic here, speaking with chefs, dietitians and directors about what plant-based means to their customers at the moment, and you can see examples of cutting-edge plant-based dishes from onsite food service chefs here.
