Vegan interpretations of traditional dishes will become part of our food culture in the future. This is the conclusion of trend researcher Hanni Rützler. In addition to new high-tech imitations of meat and fish, meat-free adaptations of classic dishes that do not require complicated lists of ingredients are also shining. The still popular bowls, for example, can be perfectly “veganized” – whether sweet or savoury, breakfast or lunch snack.

Healthy snacking

Now possible without animal ingredients: vegetables, fruit or salad, nuts or seeds are perfect for a quick snack. Then there are filling foods such as quinoa, couscous or bulgur, which offer plenty of scope. And then we mustn't forget the so-called superfoods: Avocado, pomegranate or chia seeds, for example, are very popular with health-conscious gourmets. The regional alternatives are beet, linseed or kale. With imagination and creativity, delicious plant-based alternatives can be created - in the form of healthy snacks, sophisticated variety or favorite childhood memories.

The diverse future of meat consumption

Meat is losing its role as the leading product of our food culture - at least in the visions of innovative food technologists and investors as well as in the vegan discourse on “proper” nutrition. Plant-based food has become one of the most important food trends of our time. In addition to plant-based products, other alternatives such as alt-protein and cell-cultured food, which are becoming increasingly similar to meat and fish in terms of taste and texture, are now on the horizon.
