Demand
There’s a growing demand among all walks of life for plant based options. Every year we see more p.b. options heading to the shelves in shops and more plant based restaurants, bars opening up in city centers and beyond.
Plant based options are suitable for lactose intolerant, flexitarian, pescetarian, vegetarian, vegan and many religious groups. Also, obviously omnivores will eat anything that tastes good.
People want to consume more sustainably, ethically and healthfully. Sadly they don’t know how, nor do most institutions with a menu (Hotels, Hospitals, Universities) or restaurants.
Plant based culinary culture is new and therefore not many have the expertise.

Demand – supply.
